I really worry about some people - AdamWalsh on this occasion.

The Cockpit is a very small, traditionally blokey sort of pub in the middle of the City. The City is an area which does tend to be male dominated much less so than was the case.

And you think the fact there were men in it means it might be a gay pub? Good grief!

As for it being bland - did you look upwards to where you can stll see the galleries from the time when it was ...wait for it.. a cockfighting arena. Now you can say what you like about cockfighting but you can't really say it's bland, Can you?

Proper old fashioned pub for people who, like, me like that sort of thing and a fascinating piece of London's history.

I went to this pub years ago and it was fantastic! I am looking to contact John Tanton. He is my uncle and I would like to reestablish contact.

Great little boozer off the beat and track...went in on a Sunday afternoon...relatively quiet, but lucky to see a pub open on a Sunday in the City...apparently built on the site of Shakepseare's house...

Went in on a Saturday afternoon.

Courage Directors, Best; Adnams Bitter and Bombardier, which was £3.50 a pint and was kept well. Character corner pub, worth visiting if in the area sightseeing.

Pretty bland place - lots of men - really not sure if gay pub or not! A bit odd............
