The Captain Kidd is a cosy riverside pub being just a short walk from Wapping overground. It has great views across the Thames towards Rotherhithe and beyond. It is a Samuel Smith's pub so it is their range of drinks but I do like their Extra Stout.
Great little find, right on the river. It's a Sam Smith's so generally good value for money. About 5-minutes walk from Wapping station. I had a fizzy apple juice which was nice. There's a big outside area but the weather was rubbish so we stayed inside where it was warm. Watch out for the mice who make it even more authentic!!
Unassuming, grounded confidence that this is an outstanding riverside, dockland tavern. The plain street exterior hides an absolute beauty. A cobbled entry way leads to a fairytalesque sprawl of cubby corners and window bay seats. A generous outdoor plaza borders the river with bench seats looking out over an interesting urban jungle from heritage dock houses to Canary Wharf. The greatest selection of Samuel Smiths beers you'll find are interesting and unusual. A very relaxing place to chill, chat and dream.
A good Sam Smith pub offering a great selection beers, however a really poor selection of wines. The loos were also in dire straits, the women’s looks pretty much flooded with water all over the floor around the loos (I only hope it was water). The upside is that there is plenty of seating - considerably more than the Prospect of Whitby, and we were able to get a bench outside in their large courtyard. Staff regularly came round to collect up empty glasses.
Really nice pub. Loads of space downstairs and outside. Yet to check out upstairs for food. Prices were £5 cheaper than I was expecting, so will be back very soon. Cocktails were quick and easy. The most orderly single-file queue for a bar I have ever witnessed!

The Town of Ramsgate is a friendly and welcoming pub set in the heart of East London, in the centre of the ancient hamlet of Wapping. We have a great passion for food & drink and believe that a Great British pub should be the heartbeat of its community.
