Traditional City workers pub originally established in 1610, its present building dating from after the Great Fire of London in 1666. A Shepherd Neame pub serving the full range including special brews from their micro-brewery, the one room comprises a raised rear seating area and a drinking area at the bar. Wood panelling and historic prints add to the atmosphere. Gas lights although no longer used are still in situ. On the first floor is a separate lunchtime restaurant, with a large function room above.
