This pub is great! It's right on the river and it plays jazz on Sundays, right up my street! Well, a half hour train ride from Waterloo actually, but well worth the trip.
I saw a couple arrive, and each of them was carrying a wooden oar which must have belonged to a rowing boat. I found that this was true, because towards the end of the evening, I wandered out onto the balcony and spotted them climbing carefully into their little boat and rowing away into the darkness. A bit dangerous, as they only had a front light!
There's a really nice view from the balcony - you can see house boats and lots of trees and greenery and people whizzing or walking past on the footpath.

It's quite a laid back pub, not overly fussy. The crowd on Sunday night would have suited my Dad's age group and I might take him there one day. There were younger people there too though especially earlier on. Apparently the food is good, but beware, they stop serving at 6pm.
