The Peacock, Tower Hill

My annual exodus to London and I just had to see if this place had changed. After many boring meeting I struck out to find; it had changed, but only for the better. It was crowded, but their prefect staff, served me in a timely and efficient manner and despite what looked like an arduous evening for them, they remained smiling and joking throughout.

New staff were noted, though it has to be said, she is as attractive and helpful as her predecessor and again, for a change in this part of the country, English. It�s so refreshing not to have to order in sign language. The Landlord and his wife were there later, apparently having been out for a few pints themselves; if I were them, I�d never leave.

This remains my top choice in this part of London and long may it reign.
I really can't rave about this place enough. How do they get so many different age groups and diverse people enjoying one place.

It is obviously a lunchtime place, it was dead the evening we arrived. Good enough pint, clean and tidy. It just wasn't the place for us, no atmosphere whatsoever.

Hennessys, Tower Hill

This place must be under new management or something, it done nothing to impress me. A lovely place, the beer was OK, the staff pleasant enough, but there was something missing. I suspect the noisy old soak at the bar was the new manager, but hope for the sake of the pub I was wrong.
