Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Pelt Trader
Inconspicuous bar housed behind a the modernised façade of the brick arches carrying the Cannon Street station platforms. Spartan interior, with a limited amount of plain furniture around the 'U'-shaped bar area and just a canoe suspended from the ceiling in the way of decor. Metal bar back housing the seven gravity taps for the cask ales and a total of 13 keg taps for the craft beers (NB - These numbers might not be quite right - I get different answers each time I try counting!). Not all of these are working at any one time, but there are often a fair number of interesting offerings available (e.g. Kernel's Export India Porter, £7.00, on my latest visit). Usually a big crowd outside on the pavement at office closing time, but if you don't find the lack of ambience too much of a problem then one can usually find a seat inside. Overall, a reasonable place to stop for a pint of something different.

Strongers last line below sums it up. With so much history and beautiful buildings to drink in, I'm not sure even the lure of interesting cask could lure me here regularly.
Some outside seating. Impressive choice.... settled on a Kernel Mosiac IPA after a 10 minute study of the boards.

Round the corner of Cannon Street Station, and housed in a former railway arch (you can tell from the inside, but not from out), this 'beer hall' served a mixture of cask and keg from its twenty 'behind-the-bar' taps, preventing Untapprs from their coveted 'full pint and pump clip' photos. Too many to mention, but the Kelham Island Pale Rider (cask) and the Kernal Pale Ale (keg) were both excellent. Wines also available (we're in the City here) plus an extensive pizza menu. it's not dissimilar to the recent (last 10–15 years or so) "brewery tap experience", and the trip to the toilets is certainly industrial. However, despite the surroundings, it's a must-visit for the beer range if anything.
