The Districts of The Barbacan &
The Barbican Centre and Liverpool Station are prominent in this district. The Station is huge with a lot of nice shopping and eating. The area around the Station has more of the same and is very active. The Barbican is an entertainment centre for music, movies and plays. This district is certainly bustling. You will find some nice pubs east of Bishopsgate in the E1 code.

I saw this pub listed on the Internet but have not gone to it. It seems to have been built about the 1830’s.

Despite the name this is a very clean and well-run pub. However it does have an old-world look to it since the floor, walls, ceiling and the bar is made from real wood.

Open Monday through Friday only. Sister pub to the Eagle, Farringdon Rd EC1
This pub seems to have financial ties to Charles Wells as the beer and towels have their name. I enjoy the beers and enjoyed being here.

Expect to find a pub decked out with a railroad theme and you will be disappointed. The name comes from being across the street from Liverpool Station and not by being a shrine for railroad buffs. It is a nice pub none the less.
