It’s a former warehouse, so there’s plenty of space, with exposed beams & soaring ceilings, as well as a huge patio outside. Simple food is treated well, from a dressed Caesar salad & crispy smoked haddock fishcakes to the signature 8oz beef burger & golden battered cod with chunky chips & tartare sauce.

The Ledger Building

This Wetherspoon’s pub is so named because it was once the counting house of the West India Docks. The main bar is a contender for the largest bar in Britain and is suitably lively.
