| Good range of beers down one of Londons most haunted backwaters. The pub is said to be haunted too but it didn't seem to put the punters off. Oakman100 - 5 Jan 2010 10:50 |
| Williamson's is located in a small courtyard off the pedestrianised Bow Lane. It consists of two rooms with the front bar being to the left of the couryard and the back room being at the far end. Years ago the back area was called the Library Bar and suitably furished with bookcases but this has been dispensed with in favour of cramming in more tables for eating. Until my visit last week I'm guessing I haven't been here for more than 10 years and to be frank I don't think the place has improved in that time. The front bar is still the better place to drink being lighter and not so obviously given over to food. The old Library Bar now seems totally devoted to eating and is mainly distinguished by its patchy lighting - quite bright round the bar but too gloomy to read a book in the distant corners. It's nice to see this place hasn't been sold to a shitty pine and chrome chain but I left feeling that somehow it isn't quite the place it was 15 or 20 years ago. murgatroyd - 4 Dec 2009 02:07 |
| Good place, and the beer was excellent. Avoid the 'special offer' meal deal though - You get about 6 chips, a deep fried guppy, and a thimble full of mushy peas. nich52 - 4 Sep 2009 21:58 |
| Went here as part of a pub crawl, and the history/ apearance inside was rather nice and traditional, fairly good service and an OK pint, staff as general with a lot of london pubs these days seemed rather uninterested! nicnocs1 - 18 Jun 2009 13:55 |
| A few of the male staff have an attitude problem. Other than that a nice pub. Rich1977 - 23 Dec 2008 17:12 |
