• Prospect ofhitby

  • Located on the Thames foreshore and dating from the 1520s, this old boozer has its original flagstone floor and a wonderful pewter bar from where you'll be served (grumpily, on our visit) Greene King IPA, London Pride, Old Speckled Hen and Timothy Taylor Landlord, as well as eight red and white wines by the glass. The noose hanging outside is a reference to one of its most famous customers - 'Hanging' Judge Jeffreys. These days you're more likely to be jostling for a seat with locals and tourists looking for one of the popular roast dinners. Find a spot overlooking the river out on the terrace or upstairs in the Pepys Room where there's an open fire and - located on a shelf - a human ulna bone found in the pub.
