Ferry House

26 Ferry Street
Isle of Dogs
E14 3DT

Although this pub is not recognised by CAMRA as having an interior of importance, it is a grade II listed building and the listing description is as follows: “Appearing on all the early maps of the area and probably of C17 origin associated with the Greenwich Ferry. Now appears as a late C18/early C19 three storey stucco faced building with later C19 and early C20 alterations for the built out plastered public house front. The east front has upper floors set back behind the projecting pub front, plain parapet with coping and slated mansard attic. Later C19 glazing to sash windows. On the first floor is a projecting rectangular stuccoed bay with a swept hipped lead roof probably built over a former porch and providing a ferry look out. It has 2 irregular sized windows to the front, one of which might have been a door on to a gallery or balcony; both have moulded architrave surrounds. Adjoining to right is a late C19 extension with a 2 storey canted bay window. Inside the first floor retains some plain C18 panelling and remains of a simple C18 staircase balustrade above the ground floor.”
