Description
The Banker is a London riverside pub situated on the north bank of the Thames, between Southwark Bridge and London Bridge — tucked away beneath the railway arches. This eclectic drinking den boasts stunning river views, a sleek bar, exposed brick walls, and a gorgeous terrace right on the riverbank — the perfect summer spot for sunny sipping sessions by the Thames. Open on Saturdays too, The Banker is a welcoming stop for tourists and locals alike enjoying riverside walks from London Bridge or Monument, offering the ideal place to relax, refuel, and soak up the atmosphere. Whether you're looking for an after-work destination, a relaxed pub lunch, or a lively social spot, this charming boozer delivers a quirky atmosphere for every occasion. And if you’ve got a competitive streak, you can dive into pool tables and darts boards for some competitive socialising with your pals.
When lunchtime rolls around, The Banker serves up its iconic Rotisserie Chicken offer — a city favourite that’s perfect for busy lunch breaks and relaxed riverside dining alike. Packed with flavour and ideal for sharing or enjoying solo, it’s become a go-to choice for workers and visitors looking for a satisfying midday feast. Pair it with a pint from Fuller's renowned cask ale selection, a fine wine, or one of the expertly crafted cocktails for the ultimate lunch experience.
