The Jamaica Wine House, Bank, EC3

Worth it for the history - which is well documented on line. Unusual sandstone construction. Shepherds Neame house that had run out of pies. How bad can your day get? Worth a visit for the history. Not everyday you can drink in a such an institution.

Wood panelled hidden city boozer designed mostly for vertical drinking of course. It’s a classic of course but I do have to withdraw some of my goodwill due to a thudding pop music playlist and clips of unavailable beer not being turned around. Otherwise a pleasant afternoon pint and the Spitfire is in good nick here.
