Hamilton Hall (JD Wetherspoon), EC2

Below average 'spoons - you've got to be thirsty to wait here for a drink. Service poor and beer below average.

Opens early if you fancy a livener. Usually pop in en route to White Hart Lane as a starting point for the days onslaught of ale.

Good Beer Guide 2010 listed pub at the entrance to Liverpool Street. Open plan with a mezzanine, its highly decorative as below but suffers slightly from the Wetherspoons treatment, but its ok

This is a Wetherspoons located in a very impressive hall, as the name would suggest and previous reviews have mentioned. There is room for hundreds of drinkers at the two bars and there is also some seating out the front next to one of the entrances to Liverpool Street Station. One of the plasma screens on the left hand side wall was off, but the other was showing live departure times for those grabbing a quick pint after a long day at work. I counted ten hand pumps on the main bar and six of these were duplicated on the upstairs bar. As usual for JDW there are drinks promotions and the food is very cheap for the area. There are much better pubs across the road, but it is worth popping in here for a look at the setting and décor.
