Well, i work in EC4R, so Spitalfields is but a short walk away. Usually around for a lunchtime slurp whenever you want

Cannon St way?

Yep (Laurence Pountney Hill to be exact)

Yeah, but Flashy always sez things like this, but never actually shows up…

Could have an East Side Swift Half evening soon. Stoner won’t come over this way; he’s too scared.

Cheesy; what about The Cheshire Cheese? Or, actually, with this glorious weather, do youse know somewhere that’s got outside drinking, but off the road? A conundrum in the City, I know.

The Dickens Inn at St Katherine’s is a good spot for people watching, but will be a bit busy if it’s hot. As will anywhere, I spose.

Suggestions?

Will have to work out something next time I’m back in the Smoke for a while then!

Stoner won’t come over this way; he’s too scared.

Stoner wont go over that way because my jabs have expired.

You’ll get a **** jab from me, if you’re not careful, sunshine…

Cheese is great, but in the summer really need somewhere to watch the world go by. The boat at the end of Swan Lane is good, but I hear it’s closing 🙁

Opposite Swan Lane is the, what’s it called, I can never remember…

Got a copy of the Golden Hinde outside. Nice seating area along the front, right on the River. Space to stash bikes.

Or the Anchor, a little bit further up towards the Globe. That can be heaving on a Friday, though. As can that place by the Tat Modern, but I’ve never fancied that, for some reason.

Not a plethora of good places with nice outside seating, in the Square Mile. Most simply have ‘spillage’ onto the street, and I hate that. You can never relax, as there’s always someone trying to get past, no seats, etc.
