One of London's smallest pubs and one of its best beer bars, wedged beside Borough Market with a rotating tap list that punches absurdly above the bar's physical weight. The space holds perhaps 10 people inside and a few more on the terrace, but the beer selection — craft, Belgian, sour, barrel-aged — rivals bars five times its size. The location beside Borough Market means you can eat your way through the market, then drink your way through the taps, which is the correct sequence.

Check the board — the taps rotate and the selection is curated by people who care about beer. Ask what's fresh. If they have anything sour or barrel-aged, prioritise it. The bottle list is deeper than the taps. Buy a Scotch egg from the market and bring it in.
Market hours — Thursday through Saturday — when Borough Market is alive and the terrace is worth fighting for. Lunchtime for a beer between market grazing.
Tiny — maybe 10 seats inside. Beside Borough Market on Winchester Walk. London Bridge tube. Rotating craft taps. Pints £5-8 depending on what's pouring. Outdoor terrace in good weather. Cash and cards.
