Refurb here has been very good - the interior is much more comfortable and the previously rank toilets have improved immeasurably in quality if not in size.

It remains at the head of a number of good pubs just east of Bishopsgate around Middlesex St. One thing to note is that it doesn't have Sky but they do show ITV Champions League games for which it is much less crowded than most of the opposition.

Still an excellent City watering hole

I agree that this is the best pub anywhere near to Liverpool St station. Not bad for a quiet, comfy pint, at least in the afternoon hours when I went. Staff polite and attentive.

They must have sorted the loos out now, cos the gents (at least) was clean, but a little cramped. At least a visit didn't involve the usual London subterranean trek - the bogs are at ground level.

Beer well-kept, but usual main-stream brands on tap. Didn't try the food.

Great place for watching sport with good screens and a lovely clear sound system. Beer was fine and staff very friendly. Possibly the best pub within a stones throw of Liverpool St station (not much competition). Would have scored an 8 had it not been for the filthy toilets. Bring a peg for your nose if you want to play pool (located outside gents). Really no excuse for having poor toilets given the relatively civilised clientele. If they sort it out I might become a regular.

Green King pub with plenty of character, tucked away down a side street from Liverpool St station. Paid £2.90 for an excellent pint of Ruddles and enjoyed a couple of rounds of pool, on the, shock horror, well placed pool table away from people trying to get to either the bar, toilets, smoking area ect.

First of all this pub is not in Hoxton - which is a major plus.

Hard to find for those not in the know William's is a proper pub and very useful for a quick lunchtime pint as people from my office are not likely to find it.

The menu's a bit ropey but more than made up for by the fact that there is no deafening music and you can get a decent pint.

Hopefully it doesn't get re-branded or refurbished like some many others in the area

Worth walking to this place.
