Good pub, good location, good for a return visit. Good |
Opposite the station exit (and in spitting distance of the Cutty Sark) the Spanish Galleon stands out like the Black Pearl. Adorned with anchors and serviced by friendly staff, this is a good pub situated next to one of the most iconic sections of the London Marathon route. Most of our admiration was saved for the European barmaid who we couldn't help noticing as her tight black jeans struggled to suppress the small pair of pink knickers which were creeping out of them. As she brushed my hand with hers (when passing me the Guinness), I just knew she was fighting back thoughts of what colour undercrackers I was wearing (black - in case you were wondering). We made a shameless, but none the less successful attempt to capture her on photo, although the resulting picture doesn't really do her much justice. Oh, and the pub serves lots of beer, is opposite a great pie and mash shop and a value for money noodle bar. Next pub please! To Rotherhithe...
