Barrowboy & Banker

Fuller's Ale & Pie House bank conversion, opened in 1996. Grand establishment with very tall ground floor windows, a big C-shaped bar, pale marble columns, very high ceiling with fancy gold plasterwork, wrought-iron railings on the sweeping staircase leading up to a curved gallery, mix of seating, on the walls there are portraits of old bankers and three enlarged Hogarth-style cartoons that depict an "idle barrowboy" and "industrious banker" - surely some mistake! Exceptionally popular, great inclusive mix of after-work and commuter custom.
