Entertaining big pub which I believe used to be a bank building. 3 TVs. Big glass windows all around which let you look out at the people going to and from Farringdon tube station. I've been going here for several years, but got a shock when I visited just after Christmas 2011 when I saw a black rat run across the pub. Contacted Wetherspoons about it to complain, but just got back a standard sort of letter that is sent out by customer support people, saying that rats are only to be expected in a city area pub !! Varied customers - students, city types, regulars.

Fairly standard Wetherspoons. Good for a quiet Sunday morning breakfast for not much money. Standard selection of beers, however they do serve some bottled Belgian beers, such as Leffe and Duvel, which you don't often find at other pubs.

Basic Spoons pub. Only difference to where I come from up north is the price. Two halves of real ale £3.60

All the atmosphere of a damp paper bag.
By Weatherspoons standards it is pretty poor.
Not really as cheap as other 'spoons due to 'City' prices.
Used to only go there out of desperation if wanting to continue drinking before heading to Farringdon, now have even given up on that.
There are better budget optons in the area, so only go here if you want a cheap meal deal in a dank hole overlooking a tube station entrance.

OK. Clean and you usually get served promptly.

However not particularly cheap compared to suburban Wetherspoon. Pint of London Pride £3.05.
