Ace pub, nicely tucked away from the maddening crowds down a lovely back street near Barbican station. Good selection of real ale and friendly staff. Will definately be going back.

The Pride of Spitalfields, Shoreditch
Brilliant, brilliant pub. Friendly staff and punters, excellent atmosphere, good beer (Doom Bar is a top pint), nice pics on the wall. I could go on. A proper east end boozer, just when you thought they'd all been Shoreditched into submission.

Great place, and lovely free roast spuds getting passed around!

Has had a facelift and is now called 'Cape'. Went in there last Friday to watch the Euro 2008 game between France and Holland. The Thomas More used to be an OK place to watch the match, loads of screens and spacious, but Cape was a disappointment. It feels more like a coffee house than a pub, with the refurb taking away any of the charm (not that there was much of that to begin with, but at least the TM attempted to create a traditional atmosphere). Clearly they are trying to cater for the more upmarket crowd. To be fair to them, the food looked OK and they were doing a great trade, but the place left me cold. The Truman Arms, just up the road on Dock Street, is a much better boozer for football, beer and atmosphere. I went there for the second half.

The Pepperpot, Tower Hill
Walked past this pub last Friday evening and the door was locked and all was dark inside, so it looks like another proper London pub has bitten the dust.
Went in here a few times last summer and the place was dead on every ocasion so feared the worst for it. Decent pub though- it's shabby exterior gave way to a nicely furnished, spacious boozer. Beer was good and the staff friendly. Sorry to see it go, if indeed it has gone.
