White Cross

Historic riverside pub with outdoor seating and Thames views in Richmond.

The White Cross is a riverside pub off Water Lane in Richmond, on the banks of the Thames. Its website says it serves Young's ales and describes the pub as a heart-of-the-community landmark. It is widely known as "the pub that floods", because the Thames laps at the door at high tide, and the pub says it stays open when the river rises and provides wellies for guests.

The menu is described as riverside fare of comforting British classics, seasonal dishes and pub favourites. Outdoor riverside tables are available on a walk-in, first come first served basis only, and the pub offers a live tide tracker so visitors can check high tide predictions before heading down.

Paws of London lists it as dog-friendly after an editorial check; the dog-policy card below shows where that comes from and when it was last checked. Richmond station is about eight minutes' walk away, with St Margarets about twelve.
