Nice worn down pub in traditional style. Many casks and a few tabs. Well worth the visit.

Saturday, early evening on St Patricks Day, the market had just closed and the Irish had left (mostly). The place was very full and friendly; most people looked like they had been in a while, if you know what I mean! This bar always seems to be overflowing with humanity, with just as many drinkers outside as inside. Shoppers, tourists, beerhunters and locals all mixed together enjoying a pint or two. The beers I had were good. Bomber County and Old Timber, both from Tom Woods (Lincolnshire beers), so felt at home straight away. There were at least 12 real ales to choose from, if I remember correctly. No food, it was too late, although the sausage bloke next door was still doing a flying trade (and he had the Rugby on the Big Screen). One of the best pubs in London without a doubt.

Very cosey tradtionel pub. 10 casks and 8 tabs. Many specials. Low prices. A really nice place.

Nice dark bar in a busy area. If you come in on a slow market day it is pleasantly empty and quiet. Fair selection of revolving crafts and the usual macros. Friendly service with some knowledge of what they are pouring - depending on which server you end up with. Also a nice place to get away from the massive crowds outside.

Ambiente tipico da pub londinese, non male ma molto affollato. La selezione non è il massimo e affianco a ottime real ales inglesi si trovano lager da supermercato. I ragazzi al bancone non mi sono sembrati troppo preparati ma comunque molto gentili. In generale non male ma in quella zona c’è molto di meglio.

Gat place with loads of casks. Prepare to add new beers... Shabby and worndown; a timeless classical place.

I visited this pub on a Sunday morning. Of course, few people in the room, but what I disliked most was that it was ice cold. The Cask ale they served me was also cold. The pine interior was a bit shabby.

The MP is easy enough to find - just across from Borough Market. The first thing I noticed were all the businessmen standing outside enjoying a pint during lunchtime. This is a classic, traditional English corner pub. Inside there is alot of character - wood paneling on the walls and a wooden floor with a very worn look and beer coasters on the walls. There is a rectangular bar in the middle and a small, little back room and corner areas with wooden tables and chairs. There were lots of old blokes sitting at the bar drinking pints, but more businessmen during the day. There is also a traditional a la carte menu served in the upstairs restaurant. There is a good selection of cask ales on tap. The Market Porter is a must stop in London for the classic English pub experience, and some good ales from the handpump.

Nice square pub with the bar in the middle. Not that many beers, but from what I’ve heard it changes often, so a good place to look for ticks I think. Nice brown interior, a lot of wood. I really felt at home in this warming environment. One thing though: after working hours it gets crowded as hell!
