The Dial, SE10

Located in an island building on Peninsula Square, this is a compact bar/pizza restaurant with a tabled outdoor area under the overhanging roof. The small bar has a couple of Meantime brews on keg.

One of many bar / restaurants on the plazas around the O2, this one has one compact room which is matched (or possibly exceeded) by the table space outdoors. Attractive, light, continental café-style furniture and decor. Very limited beer offering, so went for the London Lager (£4.90) since Meantime's own bar opposite looked colder and less inviting.
