This old pub survived the great fire of London and the greater threat of new building works fortunately a preservation order prevented the Bell from becoming a casualty. Lease acquired by Red Car in 2004 following the retirement of 86 year old Betty Jeskey who had been landlady for the previous 40 years. Became part of Ei's managed division in 2019. The proximity to Cannon Street Station means it gets very busy. Lunchtime food is usually burgers or sandwiches and there is a 2-for-1 deal on Monday and Tuesdays.
