All Bar One, Cannon Street, EC4

Climbing the steps up to the entrance of All Bar One reveals a very high-ceilinged bar with serving counter along the left wall and high tables along the right. In the rear half of the pub are two levels of standard seating and a couple of long tables. I didn’t see a television, but there was some background music playing. The bar is stocked with premium draught and the service was polite. I have been is worse ABO’s, but I did visit on a quiet Wednesday afternoon before the usual braying after work crowd herded in.

An exceptionally crowded, noisy McBar with no real ale. There is a mezzanine dining area, but it was unreachable without fighting our way through the huddled Peroni-swilling masses. WiFI was available in the doorway, so we used it to find the next pub.

2 floor bar located across the road from cannon street station. Continental and "craft keg" beers and food served.
