Very small Fuller's City pub. Popular for standing outside. Has upstairs for food. Friendly staff and good beer.

Great traditional London pub. Very small downstairs but take a walk up stairs. Plenty of tables now out side. Not as busy as it used to be but worth a tourist visit or for London workers!

Nice tiny pub for a quick catch up drink. More of a stand outside place. Lack of fullers beer but most probably down to covid

Small but charming historic pub tucked away in the centre of the city. A good range of beers on tap and the service was friendly and accomodating. The atmosphere in the upstairs bar was great, really nice not to have to constantly listen to potentially suspect music all the time.
