Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Barrowboy & Banker
Big, busy, bank conversion opposite the London Bridge station approach road. Interesting curvy bar, with a grand staircase leading up to the mezzanine. Little in the way of atmosphere despite the paintings, memorabilia and other traditional-style décor. Efficient bar staff, though. The beer's usually good too, with a selection from the core Fullers range, e.g. London Pride, Seafarers, ESB (£7.05), Hophead, the seasonal Gentle Giant and the Blindside collaboration with Sambrook's from the two banks of four handpumps.

A return visit last week to this large Fullers pub built in a former bank building. Well it’s a Fullers Ale and Pie establishment so you kind of know what to expect and that’s why we chose to revisit.
We primarily visited here as there was a group of 12 of us who needed to be fed and watered late afternoon and this is a decent pub for achieving that comfortably. The dining focus is on the upper mezzanine floor and can seat quite a few without feeling cramped and the larger downstairs area is comfortable when not too busy but turns into a loud echoing vertical drinking barn when it is, and especially after work hours, and it certainly was when we left at 5.30pm last week.
There are two banks of four ale pumps which generally provides a decent ale range with the usual focus on Fullers Ales as you would expect and for us the London Pride, at £6.25 , and Hophead at £6.45 a pint were on fine form. Alongside these were ESB and Seafarers also from the Fullers stable and then Twickenham Fine Ales Harlequin, Peoples Captain For the Love of Rugby Pale Ale and Tiny Rebel Carrie Blood Orange IPA.
Due to its position the role of this one is to feed and water the tourist hoards during the day and provide a decent environment for office workers to let off steam after work and I think it performs that quite well.

A grand bank conversion catering for tourists and City commuters in a prominent position close to London Bridge.Decent , if pricey pies on our mid May Saturday afternoon visit,coupled with a dull pint of Dark Star Orbiter best bitter.A large range of Fuller's beers on the bar. Busy and noisy.
