The Old Thameside Inn, London Bridge

Its not old, but it is by the Thames. Really quite plastic and synthetic. Not well laid-out either - if its crowded its hard to get around, little doors and steps and stuff.

I can't remember the beer.

Not somewhere that attracts me back

The Mudlark, London Bridge

Astonishingly noisy and overheated. It seems to be tryign to be the equivalent of the teenage high street lager-swilling cattle-barns for thirty-somethings.

Music too loud, so everyone shouts. If you want to drink expensive lager while watching office temps shout at each other over a plate of cheesy chips, this is your place.

The Mug House, London Bridge

Its expensive, and slow.

Like the Anchor round the corner its a genuinely old building that looks fake.

But you can get a seat and its warm in winter (and sometimes cool in summer) and its convenient and its a lot, lot nicer than the Mudlark ten metres away

Of course if wanted to walk a hundred metres you could get to three or four better pubs easily - but for very lazy people who find themselves suddenly in need of a drink while walking underneath London Bridge, you can't beat it.

And you can get a table for six or eight most nights so its good if you have a group who want to talk.
