Quiet tonight on a date on which London traditionally resembles a ghost town.

Early evening before the crowds gather. I notice that most tables have ‘Reserved From …’ labels.

Pleased to see that beers for sale included products from two breweries within sight of the front door – Anspach & Hobday and Southwark.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Southwark - Citra5.00GoodA hazy golden colour. Lots of Citra character. Nice. Smooth and mellow when Citra-hopped beers are usually quite crisp and sharp.

The pub is found in Bermondsey, Central London, SE1 2HH.

Present in Druid Street since at least 1839, the pub we see today is a twentieth century rebuild as an estate pub. Having looked rather forlorn for a while, it closed in January 2015 only to re-open in November 2016 refurbished and reinvigorated. It now specialises in London-brewed beer and London-distilled gin. There are pavement tables at the front and three distinct seating areas around a central bar. Home-made pizzas are sold. Four handpumps on the bar.

We have visited this pub 6 times, seen 14 different beers and tried 7 of them.
