AboutAbout The Gun, Docklands
The Gun is a historic Grade II listed riverside pub on the Thames in Docklands, serving refined Modern British cuisine with stunning views across the water. Originally an 18th-century dockside tavern with connections to Lord Nelson, the venue combines period charm with contemporary dining, featuring elegant white linen dining rooms, a striking conservatory, and an exceptional riverside terrace.
Guests appreciate the creative seasonal menu showcasing British ingredients, alongside the carefully curated wine list and Fuller's cask ales. The Sunday roast draws particularly strong following, whilst the waterside setting and cosy fireplace make it equally appealing throughout the year. The conservatory offers floor-to-ceiling views of the Thames, creating a light-filled dining space that's become one of East London's most sought-after settings.
Dogs are welcome throughout the pub, making it an excellent choice for riverside dining with your four-legged friend. The spacious outdoor terrace is particularly popular with dog owners during warmer months, offering plenty of room to relax whilst taking in the river views.
