It was like creeping around London during Jack The Ripper times - never realised all those nooks and crannies existed - I was using my Galaxy to map my way around to Bank tube and went through a Google mapped grey tunnel. If there was a fog machine it would have made it really authentic!
We just had a drink in the pub top part but looked at the wine bar - really nice. Will explore more of this - thanks for link.
GF#1 particularly loves this character of London, I do too despite my hatred of the commute/too-many-people aspect of it.

Best time to go into the city is at the weekend, you can then go around all those old streets undisturbed. There's certainly lots to explore.

If you are there in the week. The Inns of Court and Lincoln's Inn are both worth a wander through but are closed at weekends. The London Silver Vaults are just around the corner as well.
There are also some roman baths underneath one of the buildings in that area tucked down a little back alley on Strand Lane. It's National trust but only open on a Wednesday pm and you have to book a week in advance (as I found out when I stumbled across it by accident on one of my lunchtime perambulations while at ex-client co.)
