went in on a Saturday just after 6 and it was closing...apparently shuts at 6pm on a Saturday, so best to visit earlier or mid week..

Another of the Nicholsons pubs

I stopped in here recently, during a couple of free days in London. There was no one else in the place on a rainy Saturday afternoon so I felt lucky to find myself here. I was welcomed by the bar man and we chatted about the history and about real ales. I had a fine pint of Tribut, that was easily one of the better pints I've had of this brew, including some in Devon days earlier. The staff were so very friendly and I really came to love this pub and felt stupid that I had missed it on previous visits to Fleet Street. I will definitely visit this place again and hope to spend more time there.

Have to post something nice after slagging off a couple of my locals. Excellent value for money, and a good range of (generally) well kept beers. And full in a Weds lunch time.

Fairly ordinary pub with two entrances on either side (one on Fleet St, the other from the passage by the church behind). Can get very busy in the evenings with City boys.

Perhaps less-appealing in appearance externally than its nearby neighbour the Punch, but further inspection confirms it is far more satisfactory in other respects. In the usually safe, if formulaic hands of Nicholsons, the Bell offers a traditional, cosy interior with plenty of seating around a dimly-lit bar area. Service was with a smile - yes, in London! - and the ale (Moor Northern Ale from Somerset) was on excellent form, and was accompanied by the usual broad selection the chain is known for, all at reasonable enough prices. I daresay food will be found in decent order, as it is in all venues under this banner. Certainly one of the more appealing pubs in this area, albeit perhaps not one of the most authentic. Definitely worth your attention if you like your alehouses traditional, and cask-friendly.
