A Williams Bros Fraoch Heather Ale pumpclip in the Woodin's Shades pub in London. The pub is very dark which means that I had to shoot at 3200 ISO. The lens used is a Sigma 4.5mm Fisheye.

The Counting House is a flagship Fullers pub located in the heart of the City of London. Just a stones throw from the Bank of England, the Counting House was built in 1893 as Prescott's Bank. The interior is extremely impressive and is very similar to another Fullers pub, the Bank of England on Fleet Street. You can view another view of the Counting House here and view more photos and read a review on Travels with Beer.

The Dovetail is a Belgian beer paradise located in the Clerkenwell area of London. The pub has a large selection of draught and bottled Belgian beers as well as food cooked with beer. This pub was also featured on Beer Lens back in October.

The Rake is a tiny bar located on the edge of Borough Market, London. Despite being so small it still manages to pack in a dozen or so draught beers and two huge fridges stocked with a wide variety of British and foreign beers and ciders. If you are wondering why it's so quiet it's because I visited at 10:15am on a Saturday morning! Left Hand Good Juju still tastes great first thing in the morning. The lens I used was a Sigma 4.5mm fisheye on a Canon 40D.

The East India Arms is a tiny Shephed Neame owned pub in the City of London. Located near Fenchurch Street Station, the pub is no more than a single room and a few stools dotted around the bar. You can read a review and view more photos at Travels with Beer.

One part of the White Horse has already featured on Beer Lens before. Here's the other side of the pub. The popular pub is usually very busy so I had to arrive at 9:30am on a Friday morning to get this shot.

Simpson's Tavern is a traditional English Chop House that has stood on this site since 1757. Tucked away in a narrow alleyway, the premises were originally built as two houses in the late 17th century and then converted into a chop house and coffee shop. Coincidentally, it is a stones throw from where the first coffee shop in London was located. Located near the Bank of England, tourists are few and far between and like every other pub in the area, it is closed on Weekends. Predominently a restaurant, there is also a small bar selling two ales.

The Coal Hole is a stunning piece of 'olde Englishe' revival built in 1903-4. The pub consists of a lofty, beamed L-shaped room whose main decorative theme is the celebration of the grape. Near the ceiling is a deep plaster frieze of grape-gathering women and the rear features a very large decorative terracotta fire surround. A finer example of this style of pub is the Cittie of Yorke, also located in London. Unfortunately there is some lens flare in this shot but it was the best version of the interior that I had. You can view more photos of the Coal Hole at Travels with Beer.

The Bell is one of the smallest pubs in the City of London and parts are believed to have survived the Great Fire of London of 1666 which makes it one of the oldest pubs in London. It was named after a church bell that was once located nearby and sounded the alarm for the Great Fire. You can read more about the pub at Travels with Beer.
