About The Ship
A historic pub on St Marychurch Street next to St Mary’s Church, run by RAM Pub Company, in the heart of Rotherhithe’s well-preserved 18th-century village core.
The Ship sits on St Marychurch Street in the oldest surviving pocket of Rotherhithe, a cluster of Georgian streets around St Mary's Church that survived the wider redevelopment of the docklands almost intact. It's a proper backstreet local — low ceilings, a beer garden tucked behind the building, and a cask ale range that draws real ale drinkers away from the busier riverside pubs nearby — now operated by RAM Pub Company, a small South East London and Kent pub operator. Its position, a short walk from both the river path and the Brunel Museum, makes it a natural stop on any Rotherhithe history walk.
