High Tides in Richmond

Picture this: you’re stuck in the pub because of a high tide, but hey, who’s complaining? With a cold drink in hand, the Thames lapping at your feet, it’s like nature’s own little party trick. As the water rises, so does the banter among your pals, and no need to fight it out who’s brave enough to wade to the bar for the next round, we’ll hand deliver it you when you order via our On Tap app.

When the famous high tide sweeps in and floods our pub, don’t fret about soggy footwear – we’ve got you covered. We understand and champion the allure of a flooded adventure, which is why we provide complimentary wellies for our guests.

When the high tide rolls in (at 4.5 metres to be precise), it’s not just a ‘should we brave it’ decision, it’s THE quintessential Richmond experience, and timing your visit for when our pub floods is an absolute must for a Richmond adventure you’ll never forget this summer.

Pre Plan Your High Tide Visit

Prepare to ride the tidal rollercoaster of fun with us by pre-planning your high tide visit. Jump into a pub scene like no other, where the rising waters will go down in group chat history and the excitement rolls in on a wave of good vibes. And hey, who knows, you might even find yourself doing the “high tide shuffle” as you make a splashy entrance to snag that next round. Check out the tides below, any tide from 4.5 metres is when you should be making a beeline to us!

Richmond's Best Pub

When the sun’s out and the tide’s sparkling, there’s nowhere better than the White Cross. With our courtyard doors flung open to let the rays pour in, it’s all sun-soaked pints, riverside spritzes and laid-back lunches by the Thames. Dig into our High Tide Hen Shack favourites — think sauce-slathered chicken wings, crispy bites and feast-worthy sharers — best enjoyed with an ice-cold pint and front-row views of Richmond’s famous high tide at London’s iconic pub that floods. Between plate-lapping, last-bite-savouring, sauce-dribbling chaos (all entirely encouraged), you’ll realise high tide isn’t a problem – it’s the perfect excuse to linger, feast, and let the tide do it’s thing.

Doggy-friendly Pub

Summer of Spritz

Welcome to river-glow, spritz-sippin’, tide watching heaven (aka the pub that floods… and yes, that’s part of the charm). One minute you’re “just popping by,” next minute you’re perched riverside with a Spritz in hand watching the Thames do its thing.
