About The Blacksmiths Arms
A family-run pub on Rotherhithe Street offering a relaxed, dog-friendly atmosphere, sports screenings and a small garden.
Set on the long residential stretch of Rotherhithe Street between the Mayflower and Surrey Docks, the Blacksmiths Arms is a straightforward, family-run local rather than a heritage attraction, valued by its regulars precisely because it isn't chasing river-view tourist trade. It's dog-friendly throughout, shows major football fixtures on screens, and has a modest garden and outdoor seating for the summer months, functioning as the neighbourhood's everyday pub in a stretch of Rotherhithe otherwise dominated by warehouse conversions and new-build flats.
On tap
Cask ale, lager and a decent wine list
