Not to worry "Aleking" there is a good cross section of the food chain you have mentioned so everything should balance out ok
Good pub though,even if you would prefer to have a beer without the free animal show going on!

I've not seen mice in the Sherlock Holmes, Gordon's Wine Bar, Motion et al. In fact, I've never seen a mouse in a pub, whether near a river or not.

Oh well, I guess I am in the minority. Perhaps if they had cockroaches, maggots or pigeons running around too then that would add even more character to the place.

aleKing below is prob way too young to remember 'under the arches' here at Charing x the way it was before it was tidied up, with pret etc moved into Villiers St so that nowadays it is pretty much sanitised. Still a few great oddities along the passage leading to the S&S and a mild flavour of an older, messier London.
The Ship & Shovel is doing a great job not being 'updated' but keeping its many after office hours crowd and others happy. Always look in when passing. Re mice; its right by the river - all along these parts the basements and cellars run deep. Mice are an ever present problem for all establishments with sub-level areas along here and always have been. Part of city life to deal with them on an ongoing basis.

Great little poky pub just off the Strand. Very unusual in that it is split in half by a street! Both sides nice.
