A brief visit as a break from viewing the Winter Lights around the Canary Wharf Estate. Crowded with others doing the same.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maule - Dark Maule | 4.80 | | From some kind of keg, probably key-keg given the low carbonation. A sweet, smooth, chocolatey Oatmeal Stout. |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Gale's Seafarers Ale | 3.60 | Not Tried | |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Oliver's Island | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Big Smoke - Cosmic Dawn | 4.10 | Not Tried | I would have ordered this if I had spotted it on the second set of handpumps. |

Mid-evening on a Friday and the pub is very busy – probably extra busy on account of the live England football match on TV. Boisterous atmosphere.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Castle Rock - Harvest Pale | 3.80 | | Pale gold, dry and tasty. |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | Not Tried | |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Gale's Seafarers Ale | 3.60 | Not Tried | |
| Ossett - Yorkshire Blonde | 3.90 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Docklands & Isle of Dogs, Greater London, E14 4DH.
A large, modern pub within the Canary Wharf development in Fishermans Walk. It was one of the first to open as this area was developed and counts as an old timer around here. Now surrounded by other pubs and restaurants. One very large bar space, with extensive outdoor seating. Renamed the Merchant and now aimed fairly and squarely at diners, the pub atmosphere has been replaced with that of a restaurant. There are eight handpumps on the bar counter. Lease surrendered by Fullers.
We have visited this pub twice, seen 8 different beers and tried 2 of them.
