First off, let’s talk about the old bones of this place. The Angel has been around since the 17th century—yes, the 1600s! Think about that for a second. This building has seen more drama than a soap opera, from sailors stumbling in after a long voyage to smugglers whispering in dark corners. There are even whispers of ghostly footsteps—but don’t worry, the only spooky thing here now is how good their fish and chips are.
The location is absolutely ridiculous, in the best way. It’s perched right on the River Thames, overlooking the Thames Path and the iconic Tower Bridge. You can literally sit outside with a pint and watch the world—and the occasional tourist boat—drift by. Pro tip: grab a seat on the terrace if the weather’s nice, snd pretend you’re a 17th-century sea captain on shore leave.
