\n

Last week, on a visit to London, we decided to walk over
\nTower Bridge to the Hand and Marigold<\/b> in Bermonsdsey, and hence along Tooley
\nStreet to the Sun Wharf<\/b>, a new Wetherspoons, in the former London Dungeon.\u00a0 <\/span>In October the tourist hordes have died down
\nsomewhat and our walk along Royal Mint St to the rear of the controversial
\nsometime to be Chinese embassy, was an enjoyable one as we checked out yet
\nanother high-rise building being squeezed into the smallest of spaces.\u00a0 <\/span>On the bridge, gratifyingly, we didn’t have
\nto dodge photo taking visitors quite so much.\u00a0
\n<\/span>We noted a foreign, but unidentified warship, moored to HMS Belfast and
\nthe ever-changing skyline, before walking along Tower Bridge Rd and its nose to
\ntail city bound traffic. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

I have mentioned the Hand and Marigold favourably before and,
\non this Thursday, late afternoon, it was very quiet.\u00a0 <\/span>The friendly barman was line cleaning and
\nmentioned he’d have rather a good porter on soon. Fine by me. In the meantime,
\na very decent pint of Lacon’s Norfolk Gem<\/b> was no hardship. I liked the taster I
\nhad of an Abbeydale<\/b> beer a lot less and disagreed mildly with mine host about
\nits distinct but denied whiff of vinegar, but all was redeemed by the
\naforementioned porter, Abyss<\/b> from Other World Brewing,<\/b> which hails from near
\nEdinburgh it seems. This was an absolute belter of a beer. Highly recommended,
\nas is the pub.<\/p>\n

Moving on along Tooley Street, the Shipwright’s Arms<\/b> may be
\nlocated in a bustling and increasingly refined area, but it still maintains
\nmore than a touch of its working-class roots.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Inside, the atmosphere is lively,
\nwith a mix of commuters and local characters – geezers if you will – mingling
\naround the large circular bar. The traditional woodwork and tiled shipbuilding
\nmurals add to the appeal of this classic pub. Outside, in that peculiar London
\nway, we noted drinkers spilling out onto the streets, opting to stand and drink
\non the pavement rather than squeeze into the packed indoor seating.\u00a0 <\/span>The whole thing, inside and out, was going
\nlike a fair. It was good to see.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Of course, into each life a little rain must fall. There
\nwere three cask beers. Doom Bar<\/b> and its stablemate Sea Fury<\/b> along with
\nSouthwark Brewing’s London Pale Ale<\/b> which I had (in an abomination of a Sharp’s
\nbranded glass) and found thin, weedy, and pretty flat. This was a shame, but
\nthis pub is better than its beer choice and was enjoyable despite it.<\/p>\n

And so to our destination. Just past London Bridge Station
\nwhich is in itself a railway wonder of the world and sharing its arches, is
\nJDW’s newest London pub – well probably – the Sun Wharf.\u00a0 <\/span>Inside this is a maze of separate areas which
\nare served by one large and long bar. You could easily get lost inside, though,
\nso packed it was. Exploring was rather difficult, and I’m pretty sure given
\nthere was more than one entrance, that I must have missed bits of it.\u00a0 <\/span>Service was good, though, and I noted that a
\ncouple of staff seemed to have been allocated solely to bring glasses back for
\nwashing and to clear and wipe tables. Given the throng inside, they were
\nneeded. I had an excellent pint of Buckingham Best<\/b>, which of course had gone
\noff when I returned for another. <\/p>\n

There is little doubt that the Sun Wharf will succeed. It is
\nin a prime position, has more passing trade than you could shake a stick at,
\nand is reasonably priced. It is almost like a giant station bar. I’ll still
\nspend more time in the Hand and Marigold though.<\/b><\/p>\n

Given the traffic, we walked back to Tandleman Towers South,
\nthus missing out on the chance to use our bus passes. I still couldn’t identify
\nthe unknown warship, given the darkness and the distance. <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Unwisely, we called into the Goodman’s Field as we passed.
\nThat was a bad idea, but overall, albeit by a majority, London cask passed
\nmuster.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I have had no end of trouble formatting photos in Blogger recently. It used to be easy, and now it just isn’t if you want them to wrap. Apologies.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
