My 1973 pub guide points out the U-shaped bar and the sub-fourteenth-century-style woodwork (whatever that is) in the ground floor bar. That’s all gone now, and I actually found this a rather gloomy place, and surprisingly uncrowded for a Thursday evening. I didn’t venture downstairs however.

Greene King - Carnival4.00AcceptableI thought I’d be brave and have a half of this GK beer, for which the tasting notes were enticing. It is indeed golden and there are citrusy hop tastes. But overall the flavour is the usual GK malt and yeast taste.

The pub is found in City, Central London, EC3M 6BL.

This pub in Fenchurch Street was present by the late-1960s as Chapman’s Wine Lodge, the first part of the name being dropped subsequently. For some years it was a Young’s house, but then independently run. There is a small ground floor bar and a larger bar and restaurant in the basement. Closed for Covid-19 pandemic and did not re-open. Reopened as an Irish themed bar in November 2024.

We have visited this pub once, seen 3 different beers and tried 1 of them.
