Anchor Bankside
The Anchor Bankside is a pub in the London Borough of Southwark. It is on the South Bank of the Thames close to Southwark Cathedral and London Bridge station. A tavern establishment (under various names) has been at the pub's location for over 800 years. Behind the pub are buildings that were operated by the Anchor Brewery.〔
Michelin's travel guide states that Anchor Bankside was rebuilt in 1676 after the Great Fire of London in 1666 destroyed it. The book ''The Rough Guide to London'' states that the establishment was first built in 1770.〔(''The Rough Guide to London'' ). p. 484.〕 The establishment was also rebuilt again in the 19th century.
The establishment has been described as "Bankside's oldest surviving tavern" in the book ''Secret Bankside: Walks in the Outlaw Borough''.〔Constable, John (2007). (''Secret Bankside: Walks in the Outlaw Borough'' ). Oberon Books. pp. 17–18. ISBN 1849438692〕
==History==
This pub is the sole survivor of the riverside inns that existed here in Shakespeare's time when this district was at the heart of theatreland and the Thames was London's principal highway. It was frequented by many actors from the neighbouring playhouses, including the Globe, the Swan and the Rose. It is where diarist Samuel Pepys saw the Great Fire of London in 1666. He wrote that he took refuge in "a little alehouse on bankside ... and there watched the fire grow". Another fire devastated the pub whose interior was mainly constructed of oak. It was rebuilt in 1676 and has since had additions over the centuries. The Anchor tavern became a favourite place for river pirates and smugglers: during the course of repairs carried out in the early 19th century the removal of a massive oak beam revealed ingeniously contrived hiding places which were probably used for the storage of stolen goods and contraband.
