The White Cross

Description

Welcome to the best riverside pub in Richmond.

Serving Young’s fine ales since 1869 and rebuilt in 1780, The White Cross is not just a pub, but a richly-rooted, heart-of-the-community landmark (and a local treasure, if we may say so). Nestled on the banks of the Thames, we have stood the test of time (and water!), offering the best spot to soak in those famous, golden-hued riverside sunsets.

No visit to Richmond is complete without a stop at our place aka ‘the pub that floods’ – where the Thames has been lapping at our door since 1780. And if the river decides to flood, just remember, wellies were only invented in 1790, so we’ve been dealing with high water long before wellies were even a thing.

Slap on your sunnies this Spring and race to our terrace (it’s first-come, first-served, because who wants to miss out on our epic riverside views?). Whether you’re vibing with a zesty Aperol, a fruity Pimms Fizz, or a sparkling marg (our personal favourite), it’s the ultimate drink-in-hand, sunshine-soaked moment you won’t want to skip. Grab your crew, soak up the views, and let FOMO fade away, because if you’re not here, you’re definitely missing out.

Simon and the team cannot wait to welcome you.
