Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Old Bell
One of the smaller Nicholsons, with a side seating area inside the front door to the right of the feature front window then up a step to a compact 'U'-shaped bar. Traditional dark wood interior - not many seats, mostly space for vertical drinking by the Fleet Street office workers during the busy periods. Nicholson's Pale Ale, Landlord, Dark Star Red Dwarf and the Burrow's Blonde 10p-per-pint charity fundraiser from Black Sheep (£6.10) from the four handpumps on the main counter and a pair of ciders from the other bank of four in the back part.

Another on the list of London's oldest pubs and worth a visit for that alone. Quite small for a Nicholson's pub with 4 beers on when I called.
The name of the beer I had escapes me but it was in good nick!

Nicholson’s pub with quite a dark interior and a central bar. As stated below the nicer features are at the front.
