picture of The GlobeBuilt in 1872 in an excellent location near Southwark cathedral and the Thames path, this place has plenty in its favour. Yet, despite the attractive exterior, the Globe disappoints somewhat. The interior looks and feels as though it has been refurbished recently, outlined by a high rail stocked with jars, bottles and pots. The pub is curiously short of seats. There are also no surprises behind the bar to distract your taste buds as trains rumble overhead. Recently made famous in Bridget Jones films, the Globe is a place to drop into rather than somewhere for an evening and it appears to give up completely at weekends, when it's seldom open. Disappointing.
