Interesting pub name taken from the chosen method of execution of traitors of the realm practiced on nearby Tower Hill in days gone past.
This place has a bit of a reverse Tardis effect going on, in that what looks like a large pub from the outside turns into a much smaller bar than you were expecting when you enter.
Fortunately, although it is situated on the corner of Lower Thames Street it benefits from having its own pedestrian area out front thus allowing a large area for outside drinking, which was being fully utilised by local office workers on the early evening of my visit. Although how all these city workers fit into the pub on a cold winter's day is a bit of a mystery.
Inside there's a smallish corner bar area dispensing the full range of Fullers ales and the décor benefits from having several reproductions of famous paintings of British Kings and Queens adorning the walls, including Holbein's famous portrait of the Henry VIII during his ‘bloater' period.
This could easily have been made into a tourist trap, but I think Fullers have largely managed to steer away from this and although not one of the best Fullers emporiums I've been in I found it a perfectly acceptable pub all the same.
