The Ship is a small pub in the middle of Croydon and a true Croydon landmark, having been virtually unchanged for the better part of nearly a century.
A retreat from the usual trendy, fluorescent lit, sticky-floored, chav-infested bars that you'd normally find in Croydonia, The Ship is what you'd call an "alternative" pub, but the nights range from swing through to 80s to punk to classic rock to good, honest heavy metal. Not to mention the frequent live music nights and Battle of the Bands competitions.
Aside from the music, The Ship offers real ales like Hobgoblin, Forty Niner and Brakespear Bitter. Plus good, home-made food including delicious roast dinners Sundays.
Upcoming Events:
Are you in a band? Would you like to play at The Ship?
If so, then The Ship wants to hear from you. All we need to consider booking a gig is a demo to listen to and to know what technical requirements you have. That's it! It really is that simple. So please don't be shy, if you want a chance to play the last real pub in Croydon, get in touch with us now; our number is 020 8688 2810. Please note that this website is NOT run by any bookers or promoters for the pub. We do try to get through all the messages we get, but it takes us a lot of time and if all you want is a gig, you'd be better off calling the management.
Got a digital camera? Call yourself a regular?
If the answer to these questions is YES then help us make our Galleries bigger by snapping off your zany Ship antics and sending us your photos!
