The Samuel Pepys, Mansion House, EC4

With such an historical name, why would you want to call the place 'TSP', complete with bland & ugly pub sign of that lettering? Here's 3 more for the pub: 'WTF'? I entered, despite gnashing of teeth, to find a fairly predictable lounge-bar stylee upstairs beyond which was a dining area and, from this section, a view of the river which laps directly below. To be fair, the barmaid/waitress approached with a smile but seemed slightly nonplussed by my asking if it was just Deuchars they had on draught (2pumps,1 clipped) - it's not my fav, and neither was TSP, I thanked her and did one...

A modern styled bar/restaurant tucked away at the end of an alleyway. The bar has views across the Thames to the reconstruction of Shakespeare's globe and the Tate Modern. 2 real ales served.
