A newish build Young’s pub as part of the Battersea Reach development close to Wandsworth Bridge.
I get a bit depressed walking this section of the Thames path as , although it’s good to see the riverside regenerated, the rows of similar looking glass fronted apartment blocks one after another make this stretch quite sterile and soulless. And in that respect The Waterfront completely fits in. As the previous reviewer commented, plenty of outside seating but usually like sitting in a wind tunnel, and then inside, the bar may be all shiny and clean but has as much character as an airport terminal lounge bar. In fact I’ve been in Airport terminal bars that have had more character than this one. But I guess that won’t bother the well heeled residents of Battersea Reach and is probably how they like it.
Three hand pumps dispensing Youngs Special and Bitter and Sambrook’s Wandle but, unless you are dying of thirst, personally I would walk straight past it and carry on to the Ship for a real pub experience, which isn’t that far away on the other side of Wandsworth bridge.

Large pub on a new development, run by Youngs. seem to be twin sister to Riverside, same design interior and just as windy outside. Large windows offer a view across the river, but the view isn't much cop, there is, what looks like, a cement works opposite. Never mind, you can watch the boats go up and down. Usual Youngs ales on sale. Comfortable seating. They had the Youngs dray there when I visited. I've corrected the map as best I could, Juniper Drive is a bit longer now than it is on the map.
