This fine old pub has an enviable riverside location without being quite on the river. The original Anchor was over the road on a site on the river that it shared with an almshouse and known from 1729. Three houses were remodelled to create the new inn with new almshouses next to it when St Helen's Wharf was redeveloped in 1884. There are several small rooms and a courtyard garden. Struggled for some time until Greene King did not renew when lease expired in May 2023. From August 2025 in new hands and running a lively programme of events and activities.
