About the Vibe
The Waterfront is Wandsworth's go-to riverside pub, especially if you're after a sunny spot on the terrace with actual Thames views. The Sunday roast is the real draw—bottomless gravy and proper Yorkshire puddings that might just outshine your mum's (shh, don't tell her). It gets busy after work and on weekends, so book ahead if you want a table on the terrace.

Solid riverside pub with a legendary Sunday roast
The Waterfront has carved out a solid reputation as Wandsworth's premier riverside pub, and for good reason. The terrace overlooking the Thames is the star of the show—perfect for those golden hour drinks or a leisurely Sunday roast with friends. The food is consistently good, with the Sunday roast being the undisputed champion. The gravy is bottomless, the Yorkshire puddings are properly airy, and the meat is always cooked well. The menu also features some nice seafood options, which makes sense given the location, and there are decent vegetarian and vegan choices too.
The atmosphere is lively but not overwhelming, making it suitable for everything from a quick pint after work to a proper celebration dinner. It can get crowded, especially on weekends and during football matches, so booking ahead is wise if you want a spot on the terrace. The service is generally friendly and efficient, though it can slow down during peak times. Overall, it's a reliable spot that delivers on both the views and the food, making it a favorite among locals and a decent option for visitors looking for a proper London pub experience with a riverside twist.
