    Hit the balcony for a view overlooking St. Paul's Church and the street performer right in front of it with a cold pint in hand!

    Touristy yes, pricy - 4:65 a pint.. Not too bad for central London. True about the loos, you might pee in someone's back pocket so small!

    Fish and chips ofcourse. Maybe I should drank ale, apple cider was wrong decision.

    Balcony is cool, but paying 13 pounds for 2 beers served in plastic glass is way too much.

    In his diary for 1662 Samuel Pepys makes the first written record of a Punch and Judy show in Britain, by an Italian puppet showman. It was performed under the east portico of St.Paul’s Church

    Service is at the bar. Staff might look quite weird if you try unsuccessfully to catch their attention from a table.

    Try the mixed olives, they are lovely, only 1.95, and they've got little pickled onions in them too!

    Literally the most abysmal toilets downstairs, very slow service, and our nachos were burnt. Nachos, the easiest thing to "cook"
