    I really like this pub next to Museum of London Dockland! One of my favourite places. Tables outside in a characteristic open space.Very big inside, nicely designed, friendly staff, tasty food. Family friendly! Glass of milk available for children...

    Very nice and historic old building. It's pretty big with plenty of seating. Very reasonable prices and probably one of the most fancy Wetherspoons. Nice place for a drink, but they also do decent food. Also has nice outdoor seating with a relaxing planted area. Nice place to chill out.

    Overnight stay to watch The Who at the O2 !! On the way a bite to eat and a cheap pint. And pleasantly surprised we were too. Lovely impressive building and very big!! Good atmosphere, people leaving work chilling out before going home. I have to say my spicy chicken wrap and chips and the vegetable pizza were good with a couple of pints....all for £21.....can't be bad. Beautiful area if you like tower blocks and water.....which we do.....excellent!! And ps The Who were brilliant....

    Had lunch here after visiting the Docklands Museum. Beautiful building with framed posters showing the history. The different rooms make it perfect for all occasions. Out door seating means you can take in views of the river.

    We were so very pleased with this pub. It is located in a nice area of Canary Wharf, just 10m walk from station. It's nicely decorated and the service is superb. We had some filling and tasty food at a very affordable price ( nothing fancy but proper comfort food!). Perfect on these days that you are looking after your economy due to the cost of living!

    Well I have to change my rating here, for the first time in 2 years I have been denied entry for not having a physicall ID. The new security lads did not accept photo ids and lied to me that they always check physical id. They could have told me its a new rule but no! They chose to lie

    Excelent Wetherspoons pub in a nice location. Prices and food quality are great. Staff is also very friendly and ready to help if needed. We had the all day brunch, the unlimited coffee and the noodles. All great. Even toilets deserve a visit. They are nicely decorated...like a boat machine room or something like that.

    One of the good and affordable bar and restaurant in Canary Wharf. Busy and fun-filled place with a good vibe. As its a JD Wetherspoon, we can use their app to order even from the table. Best collection of beers. I've visited a lot of Wetherspoons, and this one was rich with good vibes. They also provide an outdoor space and a huge indoor space. The garden outside was fabulous and beautiful. Will visit again. Cheers 🍻

    Met some old friends on the way home ended up at weatherspoons, on Tuesday night became a right messy one Blue Lagoons killer. Ended up being the best night, didn't stop laughing and drinking and the bouncers were lovely. What a great night x x

    A great wetherspoon pub near the waterside at canary wharf. When I visited it was quite quiet inside with not too many people. The food was fast and the service was great. The staff was friendly and helpful. I liked the building it's a big place with separate rooms and outside seating. I enjoyed this place and would be somewhere I would return when in the area.

    I loved this weatherspoon as it got my most favourite dish thats taken off from most of the shops and it is the Spicy coated king prawn 🦐 👌The fish and chips were up to the mark. New chicken dish is a little dry but soft. The Chicken Jhalfrazi meal is good too. Tried a different non alcoholic drink than my usual Pepsi and I absolutely loved it. However, they need to put sign that toilet downstairs, as a lot of people get confused. Lots of room around the pub, perfect for groups. The interior is antique yet classic. The stuffs were helpful and welcoming. Loved it, enjoy 😊

    Wetherspoons have taken away their famous coleslaw. The menu says you'll be getting the old one, made with real eggs etc. But the one they'll bring out is a vegan alternative. No choice. Now no matter what meal you get, you'll be given the vegan coleslaw... which tastes like pure margarine. Very bad choice to save a penny and feels like quite a lie when the only veg with your chicken meal is coleslaw. Still though, if you complain about it you should be able to get a refund.

    Food is typical spoons. Very relaxed atmosphere. Good drink selection. Clean tables and toilets. Outside area is okish. Staff are very good, the we noticed the Team Leader asking customers how they were, did they need anything etc. Would recommend if in the area.

    The area surrounding the Wetherspoons is really nice and clean. As you look around it doesn't feel real, like something out of a movie. Anyhow I had the steak and chips. It was quite fatty and the portion size was child size. If you want other things, like peas, you pay extra. However, peas, mushrooms or tomatoes should come as standard. I also had the peppercorn sauce which was extra. All in all not worth the price. Not something I'd order again. My friend had the cheese melt on chicken. There was a lot of food on the plate. They said it was really nice. The staff were nice and provided a good service. The place is a tardess, plenty of places to sit. There is a lot of history here well worth looking into. We would definitely go back.

    Great location and large pub with really nice beer garden out the front which gets a lot of sun. Interesting and historic building too. Wetherspoons has a great choice of drinks at very reasonable prices, especially considering the location. Food is good quality and good prices too, though you're not going to get gourmet and never will, will fill you up, tastes good and won't break the bank👌

    Quality Spoons, lots of seating, good prices and friendly staff! This Spoons is a little more expensive then some others in the local area but still very good value. 👍 Definitely worth popping into and getting a drink and a bite to eat if you are in the area 🍔🍻.

    The usual wetherspoons restaurant, great food at decent prices. We were surprised with the size of this place, a lot of tables to choose from and with plenty of space between them, we were carrying luggage and there was plenty of space to put them next to us comfortably. Service is good, the ordering process smooth (by scanning the QR code to place the order online), and overall the experience is nice.

    The interior is amazing. Incredibly high ceilings. Classy decor and ambiance. The toilets are very special and unusual, immaculately clean. The outside seating is ok, plenty of picnic style benches with attached tables, so no dignified way, just chuck ya legs over the bench ladies!! 🤣. Few more sun parasols to prevent burning would be lovely. Absolutely brilliant place. Good food. Not as expensive as the o2 spoons. 😍

    I just had lunch in the outdoor area. Tables are well distanced and the staff follows the sanitary protocol accordingly. It's really easy to order via mobile phone. As usual, well sized portions and good service.

    We have been to this Wetherspoons dozen of times. It’s great. Even on busy Saturday nights there manages to be a table for us to eat at. There is a lot of seating + outdoor seating! The food is what you expect of Wetherspoons (nice). When you go in the weekday at lunch however service is slow and some tables remain messy for a long time. If you go to this Wetherspoons take a trip to the toilets! They are so modern and luxurious. The pizzas are also quite nice here, and cheap!

  • 4/5 Jhinno 9 months ago on Google
    Quick service, but may vary depending on how busy it is, lots of seating outside with a nice view of Canary Wharf The fairy lights bring a nice atmosphere as the sun sets, so a great place to hang out with friends or family The loaded chips were nice to grub on, hot, pieces of cheese and bacon.. nothing to complain about Food and drinks arrived 8-10 mins after ordering via app, the staff were friendly too

  • 5/5 Emily K. 1 year ago on Google
    Really lovely Wetherspoons, loads of seating and table options available. We went during the football and there was still lots of seating to choose from! Food and drink service is fast, staff are friendly and overall was lovely! The toilets were probably the fanciest I’ve ever seen - especially at a spoons! Had to grab a photo 😁

  • 5/5 Chi Man C. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice price of beers and ciders in that area. They have large open area at the front. One thing they may need to improve is that their beers are not cool enough. Overall I am happy to revisit the place.

  • 5/5 Ahmed T. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice place to hang out with friends and colleagues. Cost effective in a place like Canary Wharf. They keep their toilets clean and tidy. Clean toilet should be a must for a restaurant and pubs.

  • 4/5 Neil P. 10 months ago on Google
    Westherspoons on Canary Wharf... Thursday night is curry night if you fancy a meal. Good selection of food and drinks and loads of tables both inside and out.

  • 5/5 Alan Hamer B. 1 year ago on Google
    What an absolutely amazing place, Great decoration,Polite staff and wonderful outside, Will definitely go back

  • 5/5 Dave O. 2 years ago on Google
    Great location with the usual well-priced food and drink. Interesting building. Happy to return whenever in the area.

  • 5/5 Dorothy T. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good value full English breakfast (around 5 pounds for each set, depending on the size you are ordering). They also do a 99p package of free refill for all coffees, tea and hot chocolate. Now available for outdoor seating. You cannot book in advance, but it is quite free for breakfast hours.

  • 5/5 Kevin R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for a meal and a drink, the staff are very helpful as I have a wheelchair and they put down a ramp within a minute so I was able to get inside

  • 5/5 Donna S. 2 years ago on Google
    This is like no other Wetherspoon's I've been to. The flowers and outdoor space is great for a summers evening.

  • 2/5 Richard B. 2 years ago on Google
    We waited 20mins to order on a quiet Saturday lunchtime. Staff serving out of turn and very slowly, no apology for long wait. Very disappointing

  • 4/5 ZUMinUK 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely building. Now a cheap and cheerful booze hall. When was the last nice you had a pint in London for <£3!!

  • 4/5 James S. 2 years ago on Google
    Busy pub, ended up sitting outside (Not ideal in November but you can't blame a place for being popular, that's a good sign). Quick service, friendly staff, unfortunately my pint of hobgoblin was both quite expensive (but I guess still cheap for London) and a little past it's prime. Pizza was very nice. Probably will visit again next time I'm in Canary Wharf

  • 5/5 Dave B. 2 years ago on Google
    Best weatherspoons I've ever been in. Very wide selection of beers. Where else within blackberry throwing distance of Canary wharf can you get a beer for £3.50?

  • 5/5 HwaiKian T. 2 years ago on Google
    Superb experience. Definitely my go-to pub given the ambience, space, staff and decoration. What better at an unbeatable price.

  • 4/5 Matty (Naomi St K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice Wetherspoons, smart well kept. Prices according to location. Knocked off 1🌟 as some wetherspoons seem to be suffering at the moment from a proliferation of national ales ... Doom Bar, GK IPA etc only 2 guests on both from ELB which were identical to the Surrey Docks I reviewed last week. Never mind 🍺

  • 5/5 Sud R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to socialize, you can order by downloading app. Great food too, cheers

  • 4/5 Kapo M. 2 years ago on Google
    Probably the cheapest pub in the Canary wharf area. Typical Spoons in a beautiful building. Food were typical Spoons standard and price, don't expect too much from it but would fill you up for sure. Lots of tables indoor and outdoor.

  • 5/5 NiKoJlaY 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful building , tasty food, big variety of drinks, cheap prices for Canary Wharf! Love this place.

  • 5/5 Kalyan K. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite place to have good food is at Wetherspoon especially the Chicken wings, Spicy Chilly Prawns, Chicken breasts, Butter Chicken with Garlic Nanns. The food is really good with Drinks. If you are a mocktail person you should have the Mango Monster Mash.

  • 4/5 Michael C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for a drink and the prices are really reasonable considering where its located. Food was good for the price. You get what you pay for and I thought it was good. For a broken 62 year old it could do with a bit more comfortable seating outside but again I chose to go there. Recommend getting the app and using the table service. If you plan your timing you’ll never have an empty glass.

  • 3/5 Susan W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for lunchtime. Prices are very reasonable it's about £6.00 for a small cod and chips and a soft drink. Staff need to clean up the tables quicker. I've been there a few times and have found tables still left with napkins and food on them. In the current situation we are in they really do need to make sure the tables are cleared and wiped down before the next set of customers arrive. Great for lunch but not somewhere I would go to for an evening out.

  • 4/5 Rosa E. 2 years ago on Google
    It's what it's. Nothing to brag about the food. Pretty much a notch over any fast food place. But you can have a draft beer with confidence. Nice place to have a big table with family. Children are going to be entertained with some coloring books, (whatever.) Don't worry, they will be a hallway away from you. Beautiful place in a lovely location. Nice clean bathroom, that's a plus for me since I like a pint of quality draft. So much history in this area. Love Canary Wharf. If you're visiting London, you need to stop here. Cheers!!

  • 5/5 Ade G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little spoons in a nice location. Well worth a visit. Great selection of drinks and meal deals as per usual. Good value for quality beers.
