No website available

Down a narrow, cobbled road off Borough High Street lies this traditional pub. The stained glass windows hint at a bygone era and the large murals adorning the walls tell the story of a pub and an area that has a rich history. The layout inside is simple: an L-shaped bar in a large bare-boarded floor space, with 4 handpumps, serving the eclectic mix of tourists, office workers and marketgoers.
