Prospect of Whitby, Historic riverside pub in Wapping, England
The Prospect of Whitby stands on the northern bank of the Thames with a 400-year-old stone floor and an original pewter-topped bar.
Established in 1520, the pub was initially named The Pelican, then became the Devil's Tavern before taking its current name from a coal ship.
The pub attracted numerous artists, including Turner and Whistler, who created drawings of the Thames from its riverside position.
The establishment opens daily from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM Monday through Saturday, and 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM on Sundays.
The first fuchsia plant in the United Kingdom was sold at this location during the eighteenth century.
