Welcome to the Ship Tavern...

Ale House and dining room since 1549. Famous for our quaffable ales, fine fayre and illustrious past. We are proud to return to what British pubs do best; a warm welcome, a good honest pint with quality home-cooked food and exceptional real ales.

Holborn's best kept secret!

In the midst of Holborn, a small alleyway conceals The Ship Tavern, one of the oldest and quaintest public houses in London.
