TATTERSHALL CASTLE BAR & NIGHT
CLUB
Paddlewheel Steamer Pub on the Thames
Looking
for a unique pub stop after a day of exploring London. Why not tilt
an elbow and tip a pint on the Thames.
The Tattershall
Castle Bar and & Club is
not a castle of stone but an old paddle wheel steamer of steel moored
on the banks of the Thames in the shadow of the London Eye Observation
wheel. At least when the sun shines from the south. The Tattershall Castle
steamer once ferried passengers and freight on the Humber Estuary of
the Thames in its working past, but now its only passengers are those
tippling drinks in its 4 bars and below decks dining room. Two of the
bars are on deck with views of the "London Eye" millenium wheel (See Riding
the London Eye) on the opposite bank and Big Ben and Parliament
down the river, if you crane your neck just a bit. In bad weather
large windows still allow views of the rainy London gloom from the warm
comfort of the lower deck. The Tattershall
Castle Pub is moored at the Victoria Embankment on the north bank of
the Thames, at the base of the rail and foot bridge at the end of Northumberland
Avenue. Located just a few blocks from Whitehall and the Churchill
Cabinet War Rooms Museum and very near The Embankment
tube station. Stop for a pint after
a cruising
tour
of the Thames
(See Thames
Cruising Big Ben to Greenwich). It is also a few blocks
from the Sherlock
Holmes London Pub to add to a London "pub
crawl".
The Tattershall Castle’s bars and restaurant are open all year
from 11 am to 11pm. During the week on Mondays and Thursdays the club
has live comedy entertainment and on the weekends on the bars turns into
a DJ spinning disco nightclub with the dancing starting at 9pm until
3 in the morning. The floating ship pub has been recently refurbished
and can get a bit crowded when the weather is nice. One of the best times
to go is when the sun gets low and casts a golden light on the Parliament
Houses, though of such an occurrence in subject to a bit of luck and
fortune in London’s changeable weather. Admission to the nightclub
is £5 before 10:00pm and then £7 after that. © Bargain
