As others, I found a good "boozer" feel to The Cockpit. 4 ales on the bar - the Five Points XPA was in fine form; Harvey's, Pride & Landlord were also on the pumps. The punters were mostly out on the pavement, so a couple of tables were left free inside. There's also stools at the bar, if you want to be in the way.
The bar was single-staffed, with a bit of a queue forming, so some of the pints came up a bit short of 568ml as the server dealt with the crowd.
Pub wi-fi required the creation of an account, but the Fullers pub over the road had a strong enough signal that I connected to that instead.
A good option if you're in the Blackfriars area.

A splendid looking corner pub shaped in a slightly curved wedge shape. Inside it has the feel of a proper locals boozer complete with a well worn carpeted floor. The bar on the raised upper level had four handles with Four beers beers on the go, St Austell Tribute, Harveys Sussex Best, Timothy Taylor Landlord and Gipsy Hill Hepcat.
A decent pub.

This is a Grade II listed ground floor pub in a fine corner building whose current guise dates from around circa 1860. Fairly small inside with an interesting layout from its cockfighting days and it has a pleasurable well-worn feel to it.
The bar supports four hand pumps and three were in operation for our visit with TT Landlord and St Austell’s Tribute and Proper Job. Between us we went through all three and they were all in good nick, especially my Proper Job.
This was a very pleasant pub for an afternoon pint in the city and worth doing as a double with the nearby Rising Sun.
