The Anchor is a charming pub, situated on the river between the Tate Modern  and Southwark Bridge. Rebuilt in the 17th century, the building replaces that frequented by Shakespeare and Pepy's. It is claimed that Pepy's watched the Great Fire (1666) from here. Great pub to visit in the summer, as there are plenty of tables outside. Or you can just sit on the river wall and enjoy a drink. Upstairs there is a restaurant, although a bit more expensive then most pubs.

The Anchor Pub was also used in the closing sequence of the film Mission Impossible.
