Is there an exit with gates on the south bank so I can walk directly to the pub? I know you can walk across the bridge/station for "free" but I'll be alighting a train. Thanks!!
I have exited Blackfriars to the south before now. Been a couple of years, though, since I did.Is there an exit with gates on the south bank so I can walk directly to the pub? I know you can walk across the bridge/station for "free" but I'll be alighting a train. Thanks!!
Thanks, and I think I can cope with 10 seconds to the pub! Hope the tide is out as I want to see the "beach" but probably won't stray on to it because!!

Nice setting for a pub but if it's ale you're after, it only sells bastardised Youngs.
Yes, noticed that on the map. Intend to go there from the Founders, then across the bridge to a couple the north side of Blackfriers. Expecting a large hole in my wallet afterwards, but hey, it's a day out next week and the forecast is much warmer (19c) with the risk of thunderstorms.Think there are a few more cask options on the other side of the bridge in Doggett's, if memory serves correctly.

Really not bothered about what's on offer at the Founders, just that I've passed it so many times and decided it's time I had a look!
Sounds like my kind of Saturday! If you're venturing over the bridge into The City then the Blackfriar and the Cockpit are both worth a visit.
but low tide will be late morning, so it might only be on its way in...Just noticed on the day I expect to be there, it's high tide around early evening so won't be able to see the "beach". Shame!!
I'll still be on the train! Can't really get there much before five as I've to drop off stuff at my hotel in MK.but low tide will be late morning, so it might only be on its way in...
