This used to be a great pub before present owners had it!
It used to be very clean and served great food,
Since 2006 it has gone downhill which is a shame as it had great potential,
No it's just a grubby back street boozer, very shady,
I would avoid this pub like the plague.

Interesting, Stan Alfert, We never met unfortunately. I was in the RAF 1953 - 55. Dad later took on the tenancy of "The Albion" off Burdett Road, a beer and wine house - Sadly no longer in existence.
I remember well the wooden barrels, spiling(not spilling) and tapping them. Wet cloths and fans attempting to keep them cool. Hand pumps and around 1/- a pint. Unlike the Geordies, customers preferred no collar on their pints. Several customers purchasing demi-johns for their Sunday lunch. Those were the days.

This is a "proper" pub with friendly, welcoming people. Every visit is different but whether its a quiet drink or one of the busier events such as karaoke or comedy nights I've always had a great time. Food on the bar on a Sunday lunchtime is a bonus though not good on the waistline nor for ensuring you return home with your appetite in tact!

Having been to almost all the pubs in the area of the Ship Aground (Shad Thames/Tooley Street area) I have to say the Ship Aground is the worst and would not recommend it. The owners came across very unfriendly and the pub feels a bit sinister. Avoid.

In reply to anonymous's comments about the ship aground. The new owners are very nice people and about the place going to wreck and ruin should own up who he is so we can comment on his appearance. As for the beer tasting like its being watered down thats a lot of nonsense as all beer is brewery checked indeed!! I happen to be the new owner and take umbrage to Mr Anonymous's comments.

This is a lovely pub just a shame about the current owners they are letting it go to pot.the ship aground has alot of history and has great potential.beer tastes like it is waterd down.but if you like horse racing this is the pub to be in the afternoons.hopefully the owners will come to their senses and take better care of the place.BUT THEY DO A GOOD KARAOKE

Well done Ted Lewis; my Dad was tenant from 1931 to 1953.
Lots of doodlebugs and V2 s in our days.
Why is the nearest station shown as WAPPING. I hope that the customers can swim. It would be easier to use BERMONDSEY and keep dry.
We used pass the beer over the back wall to the firemen next door whilst the bosses drunk in the saloon bar; Pity that the FIRE Station has gone but it did manage to get "LONDONS BURNING" on TV before it went.
Are any of the customers from our time still imbibing? If so it would be good to see them on this site.
Hope that the Beer is still good. We reckoned ours was the best nearest to Horselydown where the Courage Brewery was.
