CAMRA has released its Good Beer Guide 2026 including seven of the best pubs in Havering.
The list was released on Thursday (September 25) and is described as "the definitive guidebook to pubs that serve great cask beer across the UK".
It uses an independent, volunteer-led selection process that makes it "the authoritative and trusted voice of cask beer drinkers".
Seven pubs across the borough of Havering have been included in this year's edition including two in Gidea Park - both located in Main Road.
The Ship is Grade II listed and more than 260-years-old, yet the building remains largely unchanged according to CAMRA.
Quiz nights are held on Thursdays and there are live music sessions on Saturdays.
It averages a 4.5 rating out of five on Google.
With a slightly higher average rating of 4.7, Gidea Park Micropub also made the list.
CAMRA wrote: "Havering’s second micropub opened in 2017 after winning a planning appeal for the change of use.
"Cask ales from microbreweries are served in all legal measures from the ground-floor cellar, also real ciders, perries and KeyKeg beers, wines and gins."
It was named CAMRA's local pub of the year in 2024.

Romford town centre only had one pub named in the 2026 list - Wetherspoon boozer The Moon and Stars in South Street.
This boozer reopened in October last year after months of refurbishment and is credited by CAMRA for its "displays of local history on the walls".
Upminster also had one pub included in the guide - Upminster Taproom in Sunnyside Gardens.
With a 4.7 out of five Google rating, it is one of the highest rated establishments in Havering on CAMRA's list.
CAMRA claim Upminster Taproom to be east London's first micropub.
"It opened in a converted office in 2015 as a snack bar selling real ale before obtaining change of use on appeal."
It sells up to eight cask ales, four KeyKeg beers, ciders and perry are served from the cool cellar, visible through the large window.
CAMRA noted that mobile phones must be silenced otherwise you must pay a fee to charity.

The Hop Inn and J.J Moons were Hornchurch's inclusions in the list.
In North Street, The Hop Inn is Havering's highest-rated pub on Google with an average score of 4.9.
Described as the borough's third micropub by CAMRA, it opened in 2019 and has a "snug" room in the former Hop Shop off license.
No under-18s are allowed and mobile phones must be on silent.
The Hop Inn was twice named CAMRA regional pub of the year and once national cider pub of the year in 2022.
Wetherspoon pub J.J Moons in High Street was commended for being "popular with all age groups" and featuring a "good variety of ales with an emphasis on breweries from London and the south-east".
The final Havering pub included in the Best Beer Guide 2026 was Collier Row's Colley Rowe Inn with a 4.1 average Google rating.
Converted by Wetherspoon from two shops, CAMRA wrote: "It has a changing selection of guest ales and is often lively around the bar, but there are quieter alcoves at the rear."
