The Telegraph’s 20 Best Beer Gardens in London includes five by the River Thames.
The Gipsy Moth in Greenwich and The Ship at Wandsworth are on the Thames Path.
The three others on the list are The Gun at Coldharbour in Docklands, City Barge at Strand-on-the-Green and The White Swan at Twickenham.
The latter two are of course on the alternative left bank offered by the National Trial but not on the towpath.
Meanwhile a campaign to encourage pubs along the Thames to use more washable plastic glasses rather than single-use plastic glasses has been launched by Thames21, London’s waterways charity.
Plastic glasses are one of the top ten objects washed up on the Thames foreshore.
The Thames Friendly Pubs initiative has the backing of food expert and campaigner Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.
