| Big Penny (formerly Truman's) as of late 2022 contract brewed - Swift | 3.90 |  | A golden beer that is proving popular, but which is not really to my personnal liking. I think it has a bit too much of a ‘cereal’ taste. |

The pub is found in City, Central London, EC1A 4ER.
This City pub is one of the contenders for the title of oldest established pub in London. Nobody knows quite when it was founded, and possible former names include the Fountain and the Mermaid. For many years it traded as the Bush and it stood just inside the medieval Aldersgate. Following the execution of King Charles I, the landlord painted the sign black and changed the name of the pub to the Mourning Bush, a name which stuck for more than 100 years. The pub was eventually rebuilt in 1855 and at around this time the name changed to become the Lord Raglan. By 1965 this pub had become part of the Chef & Brewer chain and into the 1970s it still retained three separate downstairs bars and two on the first floor. More recently it was branded as a T&J Bernard pub. Today it is badged as a Taylor Walker pub and there are large single bars on each level – a look at the ground level flooring gives a hint of the former room divisions. The upstairs bar is usually quieter and has the more comfortable seats, plus a pair of pool tables. There are also two pavement tables at the front.
We have visited this pub twice, seen 5 different beers and tried 1 of them.
