NOTE:Opens at 6.30 in the morning, just ripe for the early bird alcoholic. A slight refit has not detracted from the shambling glory of the inside of this pub, although the giant Stalinesque urinal, completely unique at least in the experience of this reviewer, has sadly been removed. Lurking photogenically under the railway arches, this is a hugely impressive establishment, with a vast and ever-changing selection of independent beer, and a TV for those with a severe attention deficit or very boring friends.
NOTE:The Market Porter is so much more than it seems. A corner pub of the highest order. It looks impressive with its hanging flowers and is very welcoming. When you enter the pub you are met with 11 different real ales from all over the kingdom. The wooden floor and barrel ends add to the basic boozer effect but this pub oozes appeal. As you stand outside, as seems the norm, the view of the Victorian Borough Market must be one of London's hidden treasures. The whole world seems to go by this pub and with such a collection of quality real ales to help you watch it all happen this is one of London's finest.
