Tucked down a side street under the shadow of Cannon Street station we weren't expecting this to be much of a revelation. We were wrong. Spacious pub, well lit, cracking conservatory area overlooking the river. And reasonable outside seating also with river views. Okay, if you look too closely you have a loading bay (actually containers of refuse) in your eye-line but, hey, river views of London whilst having a few beers are not to be sniffed at. On a sunny day, the terrace is usually crowded if you don't get your beach towel out first thing - but the well-trained staff cope well with crowds. Recommend you sneak off to get there early if it's a nice day.
