Before we distract ourselves with such frivolous information as what beer they serve, it seems a good time to suggest a possible missed business opportunity for this bar. Why not team up with Apple to make a range of computers, the Fleetwood Mac if you like. Moving swiftly on, the booze selection is indeed excellent, with options like Honeydew helping to raise it above our initial expectations. The Fuller's ales do make the difference here in what otherwise could almost be an All Bar One clone. The raft of smoked glass windows along the side and far end make it perfect for people-watching, if perhaps the uniform square tables, while practical in a small space, make the interior a tad bland. It can fill up quickly, making the bar area a little bit congested at times even though the recession has slimmed down the number of fat cats around here. The traffic jam is especially evident at the end of the working week, before the City and the Fleetwood itself get two days of rest.
