Have use the Ship on a couple of occasions in the last couple of months, due to its proximity to the Holborn Pizza Express live venue, and it has had a decent range of well-kept ales on both occasions. For my last visit five of the six pumps were badged with four ales actually available in the shape of Sharps Doombar, Black Sheep Bitter, and two from Southwark Brewing, namely their Routemaster Red Ale and a Pale Ale called Top Drop brewed for the Rugby World Cup. The fifth was badged with Theakston Old Peculiar but with the dreaded Not ready sign hanging on it.
The pub is completely unchanged from the pre Covid Pandemic reviews and would still appear to be a decent tucked away pub for a pint close to Holborn station.

An atmospheric boozer in the back alleyways, difficult to tell what is original and what might be contrived but the overall effect is reasonable. Lots of dark wood gives a good feel, while outside there are some nice William Younger windows. A dining room is signed upstairs (not visited). A good range of beers also, with Windsor & Eton Conqueror, Sambrook's Junction, Deuchars IPA, Tribute and a house ale.

this is not too bad a pub for central London. small and atmospheric. dining largely consigned to upstairs. Based on my visit it’s not, however, a place to escape American tourists or London prices - yikes on both counts!
