Quite a nice pub - part of the Smith and Jones chain if I remember their name rightly - on what is actually a pretty grotty street running north from the Barbican up to Old Street. A spacious inside and four real ales on when I visited, including Sharp's Doom Bar and IPA. Clientele looked to be made up of local office workers, although I'm not sure how many offices there are round here, and I'd have thought this a bit far for workers from the Barbican area to bother venturing to.

Spent time at The Trader Aug 2008. Very clean, great atmosphere, great food. All staff very friendly and accomodating. Will be back on our next visit to the UK.

I went here just before Christmas to meet a friend as this place was well received on here. I found it a little disappointing, as although the food was okay and the staff friendly, the place is a little soulless. There are better pubs nearby.

5/10.

Went here for lunch today. From the outside I had a brief flash of terror as I imagined the filthy blood-soaked market pub that would lie within, but in actual fact it was a really nice boozer. Obviously recently refurbished, but not in a poncey way. Nice old scuffed wood floors and wooden furniture. Good balance. Food was pretty tasty too. And they've got a pool table - woohoo!
