Wheatsheaf, London

Located in the very heart of Borough Market and now operated by Young's. Used to be a basic Courage market pub with a partitioned off island bar which in later years had a couple of good guest beers on. Used to be known as L42 Club (signal above pub). Upper floors were removed to accommodate the new railway viaduct which runs immediately overhead. Re-opened December 2012 after several years of closure for the railway works above. Transformed into a more upmarket venue in line with the gentrification of Borough Market clientele. Has a semi-outdoor "garden" area next door using what had been a derelict building for many years - partly open to the elements and has wall heaters for cold weather. A totally walk round island bar remains, equipped with 7 handpumps in banks or 3, 3 and 2.
