The Lamb Tavern, Leadenhall Market

Great pub if you�re into meeting men in suits. Yep this pub has it all - 900 men in varying shades of black and grey with bad ties and shirts stapled into their trousers by a belt sitting on a 90 degree angle due to their expanding waste lines.... the talk is all the same; has-been financial boys claiming they made money in the 90's... these blokes are the rejects from the real city trader pubs... think I prefer to listen to my Dad tell me how hard it was in the 80�s when interest rates were 19% than go in here and listen to the diatribes from post-40 balding men who are on there second divorce... oh did I mention they serve beer here as well ? the place stinks like piss and they serve plates of chips for a fiver that a rodent wouldn't eat... give it a miss... better places town.. hint: try the Jamaican Inn.

The Kings Arms, Liverpool Street

If you were stabbed to death with the butt end of a pool cue in this place nobody would think it out of the ordinary.... bland pub, with bland people, serving bland beer with bland music on the sound system... if you're bland this is the place for you.

The Pitcher and Piano, Bishopsgate

This place is dubbed: "The Gateway to Essex"; Why ? 678 girls everyday in very short skirts get off the train at Liverpool St hoping to meet city traders with loads of cash (the pub is opp Liverpool St). What they meet is guys in cheap NEXT suits with Jamie Oliver haircuts claiming they earn �900,000+ a year.... if you're a chic from Essex the only thing you'll get out of this place is the phone numbers from 400 reptiles who want to get down your pants and who knows you might just take one or more of them home !

Same old P&P in design but particularly distasteful due to the meat market interactions.
