The Blue Anchor, Hammersmith, W6

Decent and regularly changing ales which are kept well but dispensed by somewhat miserable staff. In my opinion marginally better than the Rutland Arms next door, although probably even more expensive, if you can put up with the more mature members of the rowing club next door who seem to noisily dominate the bar. As with the Rutland Arms, why come here when the Dove is just along the riverbank?

I usually stop off here when doing this bit of the Thames path as, along with the Rutland Arms next door , there is usually a beer on worth trying. The pub has already been well described by previous reviewers and my feelings are in line with theirs. Best visited on a pleasant sunny day and if you can get a seat on the River Terrace. Four hand pumps going and along with the ubiquitous Doombar these included Sambrook’s Wandle and one from the Oxfordshire Ales microbrewery on my last visit.
