The real immersion in London dining is experienced from The White Cross. This riverside pub in Richmond is known the world over for its panoramic view of the Thames and its beer, but above all for its flooding when the tide comes in several times a month. If you want to be sure of that experience, all you have to do is check the tide calendar on their website.

We are famous for being the pub that floods Richmond, where high tides, high vibrations and a once-in-a-lifetime experience come together‘.

As soon as the water starts to rise, the bar staff put on their wellies and continue their work. Customers can place their orders via the app, as well as have their drinks delivered directly to their table. If anyone wants to get in on the action, the pub also has plenty of wellies for customers to put on and take a dip. There the tide and the good vibes are synchronised to rise high at the same time.

Each season, Sofiane, its head chef, creates delicious dishes full of flavour, colour and sustainability. Although the menu is dominated by fish and seafood dishes, such as their cod cheeks or sole, as well as other dishes such as their burgers or spinach and ricotta ravioli, in line with their nautical concept.
