The Peacock, Tower Hill

As mention....Timing certainly is everything when at the Peacock. On the 2 occasions my mates and I have been here, we have arrived around 9.30-10ish to find it with a resonable amount of patrons and an average atmosphere...that is until bout 11 - 11.30 which i was told, that all the other pubs in the area are closed, we are the only pub open till 1am.
Before I knew it the place was packed, with a vast variety of people incl. young suits, the older crowd and even one of the staff who knocked off early was there chatting away to everyone.(even jumped behind the bar to help when it was busy and even collected the empties....even though they had finished their shift!! )

Extremely friendly staff, most places you go the bar staff hardly understand what you want....staff here all speak english!! 2 of them are british and a kiwi lass! They even knew our round of drinks better than we did!

Music.....a juke box to die for!

2 Dart boards and pool available (upstairs) which at about 12ish was closed off.....however they let my mates and I use the dart board downstairs!

I personally am not an ale drinker - but my husband tried the Redemption (apparently a new one the market and local london ale) says it was spot on!

We will definately be returning here when we are next in the area!!

The Dickens Inn, Tower Hill

The Dickens is in a great location...definately doesnt feel like your in central london!
Bit expensive, but not much difference compared to most places in the area,
Fantastic outside area. Pizza menu is definately worth a look. will return if in the area
