“This Victorian inn, a short walk from Canary Wharf, offers an intimate lodging experience that's both cozy and convenient. The location is excellent, especially for those needing easy access to the DLR and Jubilee lines. I found the pub atmosphere and unique local food options particularly appealing, setting it apart from larger, more generic hotels.”

Review summary

Guests often appreciate The Ship Inn's location, finding it convenient for accessing public transport, particularly the DLR, which makes commuting around London easy. The pizzas are widely enjoyed in the pub's vibrant atmosphere. Rooms are generally considered spacious, with some including helpful facilities like a sink and even a fridge for keeping drinks cool; some guests have mentioned that the carpets could benefit from a refresh. Plus, being close to landmarks such as Canary Wharf and with the possibility to walk to Greenwich via the tunnel under the Thames, many find it to be great value for money.
