The beebs 5 day forecast suggests rain 4/5 days. Perfect

you can usually cross the road and stand under the cover of the market.

That's tomorrow afternoon after work sorted then

You'd better hope that it doesn't rain then! Actually the one downside is this pub is so packed that I only ever go when the weather is good so I can stand outside.

Market Porter is a London institution.
If you like your real beer - it's the best pub in central London that I know.
Go right to the back where the guest beers are - changed every week.
And in the summer you can stand outside and watch the hot totty that work in the trendy Borough offices walk by.

Market Porter is a good pub. Never been when it's not been packed though and can take ages to get served. Best to order a couple of rounds at a time.
The sausage place next door never tires of telling people that "harry potter 3" was filmed there (if you've seen it, the bit near the start when he's in the 'leaky cauldron').

Also, the lane down the side of the market porter has been used as a location for many brit films, e.g. lock , stock...

If you like beer, the brewwharf is next door too, they have some decent ales on tap. Wine Wharf is next to that (part of vinoplois).
Actually, it's pretty good round there for pubs, one of my favourite places in london. I much prefer it to the likes of camden etc, i think the vibe is much more laid back

Agreed. Camden is actually a pretentious, dirty, dump.

Never tried that one but seems to get good reviews on beerintheevening.

What about the Market Porter round the corner? The guest beers at the back are definitely worth a shot and you will often find me propping up the pub in the summer. Plus the shop next door does 3 posh sausages in a bap for £3.50 if you're hungry. Bliss.

Posh sausages? Do explain....

Let's just say they're no Tesco value. This is Borough market after all.

Filled with cream cheese?

we must be talking about different Southwark Taverns then.

This one was fully functional last night, and did a reasonable Black Sheep too.


Ah, I see what you mean, Christoper House has indeed fallen down. The pub remains standing.

That'll be a "Yes" then: linky.

Even its post code has gone.

I haven't been in there since I worked in St Christopher House in Southwark Street.

Has it fallen down yet?
