• Pubco: JD Wetherspoon
• Nearest stations: Tower Hill, Fenchurch Street, Tower Gateway DLR

Food and drinks

Standard JD wetherspoon menu. Usually 2 or 3 guest ales on besides the regulars (more during festivals).

Layout

This pub is on 2 floors with a mezzanine area between. Loos are at the back and upstairs.

I don't think that the disabled access is too good, but there's probably a disabled loo on the ground floor.

Ambience and service

Service is better than the average Wetherspoons pub, and they also seem to manage on fewer staff.

The ground floor area can get crowded and smoky, but you can usually get a table upstairs.

The pub does most of its trade in the evening, and the clientelle is tourists and local office workers.

The decor is your standard Wetherspoons bookshelves, and there are some panels of the history of Tower Bridge.
