The Windmill, Old Street, EC2

Traditional-looking corner pub with unusual patterned glazing in the front and side windows that certainly surprises once you step inside. The interior has been opened out under what must be a false ceiling to leave an uncluttered arrangement of mixed wooden furniture around the 'U'-shaped counter. The decor is inoffensive, but you can't help noticing the surprising absence of handpumps as you enter. Various standard keg offerings from the two hooped founts, including East Coast IPA and Meantime London Pale Ale (£5.20).

Ugly looking Greene King pub with few customers on my visit,No cask but GK- West Coast ipa on keg.Big horseshoe shaped bar.
