Early evening visit. A late arrival for an old office colleagues reunion which had clearly moved on without me. Packed, brash, warm summer, riverside location - what's to like!! Perhaps that had expedited their departure too.

I think I’ve only ever been here on before on sunny summer evenings when the crowds spill out on to the riverside. Very quiet today on a miserable, wet evening.

Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Bengal Lancer5.00AcceptableThis pint was a bit ‘green’ and over-chilled. The result seemed to be to separate out the component tastes of this beer. A big, biscuit malty taste followed by a bitter hop hit at the end. Should be more balanced.

A cellar like interior and quite large at that. Not too busy.

Formed by an arch of Cannon Street railway station bridge with two smaller arches forming a tunnel effect from which the river can be viewed. Interesting use of unpainted wood decorated in largely an Art Deco style. Inside drinking and eating is on a number of levels. The bar counter has 8 handpumps in 2 banks, each of four.
