The Ship Tavern, City of London

Why do places like this exist, particularly in this area.

Having been disappointed by The Grapes across the road, I chanced here.

This must be the most neglected Pub in the area. Drinking downstairs is allways bad, but to walk dodgy strairs to be served a pint which is nearly undrinkable is extremely annoying. However owns this place really should seel it for office space, they have no business in the Pub trade.

The Bunch of Grapes Inn, City of London

Barely fit for purpose. I visited Leadenhall and foolishly went in here. I would not recommend it to others.

The Ship, Tower Hill

Very small indeed, and on my visit perhaps to crowded to be appreciated maybe. It was recommended for a pre-train drink by another Landlord though, so I went in.

The real-ale was in good form. Sadly that is where my compliments end.

This could be a lovely Pub, but it seems to be lacking in many areas. It is neglected in all the wrong areas, whilst someone has obviously spent money painting it a little to pastel and modernising the furniture, they have totally missed the toilets, outside and carpets. You get the feeling of a uncared for place, which is very sad.
