Message from Kristoffer Føns

The Prospect of Whitby is a historic pub in London's Wapping area. It claims to be the oldest riverside tavern, dating back to around 1520. Originally known as The Pelican and later as the Devil’s Tavern, it has a shady past as a meeting spot for sailors, smugglers, and cutthroats. With its 400-year-old stone floor, 18th-century panelling, and nautical decor, this pub has seen it all, from pirate hangings to royal visits.
