The Anchor Brewhouse is located directly to the east of Tower Bridge in the newly refurbished Shad Thames area of south east London. The site of one of the first ever commercial brewing houses in the country, the building was acquired by John Courage, the founder of Courage Breweries, in 1787 as a place to make his product. The brewery operated for over a century before falling into disrepair and being refurbished and turned into shops and dwellings at the end of the 20th Century.
