Anchor Brewhouse

Anchor Brewhouse

The Anchor Brewhouse was a small brewery on the junction of Shad Thames and Horselydown Lane, by Tower Bridge in London. The brewhouse was bought in December 1787 by John Courage.

The building still stands, although it has not been a brewery for a long time; it has been converted into luxury residential flats. The "Anchor Tap" pub that was the brewery tap is still open nearby. The pub is run by Samuel Smith.
