London Stone in City of London, Westminster

La piedra gótica de Londres se ha ido. Es reemplazado por un decaimiento urbano que parece un bar artesanal de cerveza llamado Cannick Tapps. La distribución de la bodega es muy parecida, pero sin aspecto gótico. Ha advertido a los urbanos de que vengan y se sientan industriales. Tenía algunas cervezas normales y Doombar era una pinta perfecta. Los otros estaban fuera, pero al camarero no parecía importarle girar los clips de la bomba.

Me salió de la estación de Cannon Street en una tarde caliente en 5:00 pm. Me espiaron la puerta Cannick tapps enfrente con escaleras que conducen al bar. Qué sorpresa, era un buen pub subterráneo con aire acondicionado y unos cuantos clientes de agua potable. Había una variedad de artesanías y las bombas manuales grifos de cerveza. Yo opté por una pinta de locos (pureza) ganso. Era tan bueno que volví para una segunda pinta y una fantástica relación calidad-precio a £3. 50. Volveré pronto.

He estado viniendo aquí durante bastante tiempo y siempre disfruto de mi tiempo aquí.

Tried to find this historical if less than impressive monument. The building where it used to be seems to have been demolished and apparently it has moved to the Museum of London where it can be seen properly.

Cartel de "50% de descuento en la comida los sábados" en el Cannick nos atrajeron Tapps. El lugar es bastante único y tiene su propia personalidad, por lo tanto podría ser llamado un tesoro escondido, con una buena selección de cervezas y sidras de artesanía de barril. Pero el servicio no era el mejor cuando traen 2 comidas en un mismo plato, incluso si es un bocadillo (tiras de pollo) con sólo una salsa (¿por qué sólo uno)?

Esta fue una rápida comida de negocios. Pedimos un par de bebidas en el bar. Después de la obligatoria., "no, no quiero t doble cristal de vino" me sorprendió cuando una cerveza y una copa de vino cuesta individual sobre 14 libras. Después pregunté el precio (que me había cobrado por el vino doble) el costo se redujo a 12 libras. 65. Un vino es doble, una individual de 7 libras es de £5. 65. Hmmm.

Great place to spend some time before catching a train home. Currently there's cocktails happy hour between 6-7pm. The bad point is that the kitchen closes at 7pm.

Bien, lo que pasó con el pub gótico temáticas que esperábamos? ! Habiendo visto la página web de la London Pub de piedra (que aún estaba vivo en el momento de nuestra visita) nos esperábamos algo un poco peculiar e inusual. Decepcionados al encontrar que fue cambiado a un aspecto bastante genérico pub y haber hecho un viaje especial para llegar aquí nos decidimos también la comida parecía genérico y aburrido y la izquierda después de una mitad de una coca-cola. El personal era lo suficientemente simpático y tenía un ambiente agradable, pero en última instancia no era lo que queríamos.

Great little bar with 7 gins and a wide selection of craft ales. English tapas on offer (we didn't try them). Lively music.

Cayó en un rápido pinta después del trabajo y terminamos quedándonos un par más y algunos bocadillos. El Punk IPA era una buena opción, y aprovechamos el 2 para 1 cócteles. Nos sirvieron rápidamente en el bar e incluso nos las arreglamos para conseguir una mesa, que normalmente es una rareza en los bares ronda de esta manera. El huevo con mostaza y tiras whisky pollo empanadas estaban bastante bien también.

Un peu dommage qu'il ait perdu son ancienne déco gothique, mais tel qu'il est il est bien sympa et le choix de bières est toujours très bien.Une belle adresse pour commencer la soirée.

Este bar ha mantenido su ambiente único, pero ha tenido una renovación refrescante, ido son las gárgolas y arcos góticos a ser reemplazado con un aspecto más limpio, brillante interior sin perder su carácter.

Does what it says on the tin, decent beer and good burgers. The place itself is comfy in a rugged way, good for friends but maybe not the place to bring a date.

When you go down the staircase to get to this restaurant you're not quite sure what you're walking into, but it's actually a really neat themed spot. It's got a Gothic vibe with really cool furniture and decor. They have one of the neatest drink menus with drinks named after deadly sins and virtues. We went for lunch and there was a really good lunch special where you could get two dishes for a very reasonable price. The service was good and the bartenders were friendly. You also need to make sure to use the restroom simply because the entry doors are amazing hidden bookcases (picture attached).

This quaint pub is next to the site of the famed (or infamous) London Stone, opposite the Cannon St Tube Station. You descend down from the street to a typical London pub but one with skeletons (it is supposed to be haunted) and nice effects, some dating sites tucked away from the bar, and really nice friendly staff. We had a light lunch and a beer and it was fun. The "English Tapas" tasting dish was great. You will have fun finding the toilets - you'll probably have to ask and when you do find them they are great fun getting into (leave you with the challenge)!

We went to the "Music for the Masses" event on a Saturday evening. We had a good time including some dancing.Yes, we found the restrooms, it is not soo tricky but a nice twist...

It could be great! But the lack of TLC the smell and the rude staff have put me off. Appreciate clients as they pay your wage.

My friend and I came across this pub by accident when we were visiting London, its a fabulous little place, great decoration with quirky furniture, gargoyles & the odd skeleton! We didn't eat here but did see other people with food and it looked good. We visited twice within a few days and both times the staff (different each time) we all very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend a visit!

Having read about the London stone and seeing it behind a cage opposite Canning street station, it seemed only right to pop into the pub of the same name. Good service with a lively atmospher on a sunny Friday afternoon, thoroughly emjoyed it.

Noticed this wee quirky place from open top bus. Loved interior. Staff were amazing very friendly and helpful especially Gabrielle. Didn't eat here but the food looked good. Cocktails were great as was prosecco and shots. Will definitely be back. Had a great time.

My boyfriend and I noticed it when we first arrived in London but it was only on our last night that we actually managed to give it a try. The kitchen was almost closed so we had yo hurry in placing our orders, but everything was perfect: from the garlic bread to the fish and chips and London sausages to the dessert. My boyfriend tried a Guinnes and says it was average, but the pub was very cute and "weird" (the good kind!) and I can't wait to be in London again to go back there.

There's a good reason why a city pub is 90% empty after work on a Friday evening. Fake goth chain pub, with the worst cocktails I've ever had, in plastic jugs, and bearing no resemblance to what they were supposed to be. Music far too loud to have a conversation. Glad we were able to leave quickly.

un bel locale per un paio di birre molto accogliente, in bella zona turistica, molto pulito. Personale gentile

We came across this by chance, we were a group of 11 looking for some cheapish pub style lunch. It is located directly opposite Cannon St Station, you go down some narrow stairs and are then faced with the bar and the 'gothic style theme' very nicely done. The staff were great and we had some great meals at 2 for £11. The drinks are normal city prices. Note the toilets are in the book case's (different!!).

Wow!an i mean wow! Portion size was quite something, had what seemed a full size chicken on a burger last night at the stone, very well cooked and delicious sides.The value for money was excellent! I would highly recommend eating at the stone!

Fantastic meal at London Stone, the bar staff were really friendly, outgoing and delivered great customer service.The decor inside resembles Gothic overtones, a place with real character.Asked them where the restrooms are, you'll be amazed - it's awesome! Terrific customer service, delicious food; I'd happily come back soon!

Love this place, there are many like it around the world but this one has a certain charm to itlocated directly outside of Cannon St Station, you go down some narrow ish stairs and are then faced with the barthe drinks are slightly pricey but fair for the area.I have never eaten at the place, unsure if they actually do food, but the Guinness is on point ;)

Bored with the usual trendy bars or historic old London pubs? Then try this one which goes for a Gothic and ghouls theme. Not very big once you get downstairs but do love the effort here to create something different. Like the raised section similar to a Pulpit in a church with cosy tables and the book case doors to the toilets. Music plays a bit loud for me. Should be organ music with horror sfx to add to the atmosphere. Selection of ales were good. Food very average but maybe as it was late in the evening so may be ok generally. Nice girls behind bar made us welcome.

We were lucky enough to have the London stone as one of the venues on our ghost bus tour, and what a venue, a really nice and interesting place, cocktails are well made and great value. Dan the manager was absolutely fantastic, helpful and thoughtful and certainly understands the hospitality industry. You could easily Walk past and miss it....

This is something else, it was a slow night (wednesday) but we had great drinks and enjoyed the music. Fun bar, probably more lively in the weekends but we enjoyed the interior and the drinks.

One of the best value burgers in London, however, not too fond of the bacon style (Canadian/british style) on burgers which makes it feel like porkslices on beef. Taste was good though and decent selection of drinks.

I first attempted to visit around the Christmas period (28th Dec from what I recall). We visited at a time that the website stated it was open to find it was closed. Not happy as we went out of our way especially to visit. I attempted to visit again on Sat 23rd May around 7:30pm to again find it closed and the doors locked. Is this place ever open? If I could give either 0 stars I would.

We saw this pub on a t.v programme and absolutely had to visit! Really reasonable food and drink and so much to look at, can not recommend this enough

Went for a few drinks with my partner and mother for her birthday. Planned to sit and have several cocktails using a loyalty card to gain a t shirt for our troubles. Travelled her for this purpose to get told that it is no longer on even though it is still advertised on the drinks menu. Pointless trips with less than average cocktails.

I'd previously been to the sister pub in Edinburgh and witnessed the Frankenstein performance that they do. I've passed London Stone many times and even walked down the steps to see it but never actually stopped for a drink. Fun, gothic decor with the toilets hidden (I won't tell you where, you have to find them) and little bits of fun display items on show. The food is cheap, some were 2 meals for £11. Wetherspoons quality, cheap and cheerful and I enjoyed the chilli. As an archaeologist and having worked in the vicinity i'd heard the story of 'The London Stone' and had hoped there had been a replica but other than that and the fact that there is no performance like in Edinburgh its a great little underground pub where you can hide away in a gothic booth under Canon Street & away from the hustle and bustle. Glad we went!

Very nice bar, tucked away. Nice gothic decor. Not crowded on a monday after work drink. Not yet tried food but having looked at menu seems varied and well priced. Def worth a return visit but they could do with turning down the heating and updating the music. Love the toilets hidden behind fake book case.

This is a great quirky pub right opposite Cannon Street station, especially if you like to actually have a chat as the music is not loud enough that you have to shout at eachother, unlike next door in All Bar One. Great place if you just want somewhere to catch up with friends and not spend a fortune. Food and drink reasonably priced, seriously the food is lovely, especially ham, egg and chips and the staff are great. If you are a visitor to London just pop in for a pint just to experience the décor and try and find the toilets as they are behind a hidden door.People who have not rated this pub are not happy people they need to lower their expectations and join us normal folk.

Went here for an early lunch; very quite but we still waited for 45 minutes for food. I had the double burger, my colleague the veggie burrito... that with a coffee and a beer - £25... not too bad for good quality food but this wasn't good quality food - in fact I would go as far as saying this was the worst food I've had in any pub - ever. The veggie "burrito" was wrap with three splodges of colour and a pile of rice; very unappealing and had very suspicious meat looking pieces. The burger - oh dear; I've had MUCH better burgers from MacDonalds - this was an awful cheap, nasty, rubbery patty of "meat" - in fact I would go as far as saying the veggie burrito had more real meat that burger. All I can say is the Guinness was good. For food - avoid like the London Plague...

I ended up here by accident as I was out late and it was the only place still open. They had 80's night on.All I can say is that the atmosphere was... well, weird! I couldn't figure out if this was a night for some "special" people, swinging club or something that I probably don't even know a word for.Everyone seemed to be high on something but then again they didn't appear drugged up. This is the best I can even try to describe the atmosphere. We had a couple of drinks and left rather quickly.I may return in day light, or I may not.

Went here with a few friends for lunch, had the spaghetti and meatballs which were really delicious! Heavily seasoned but quirky place and really enjoyed!

I'd love to write a proper review about this pub but didn't get a chance to get through the door!We turned up at midday on a Saturday to a man standing outside telling us that they'd had a huge party the night before and the place looked like a bomb site...He seemed to look at us as if we had 3 heads for expecting a quirky pub in central London to be open on a Saturday.He then proceeded to tell us that if we wanted to go in and have a drink we'd have to wait until 10pm when it re-opened and if we wanted a drink then and there to go to the pub next door.So we went to the All Bar One next door.

I work up the road so occasionally go in when I have forgotten lunch. The food is pretty crap to be honest, and you can get much nicer panninis from EAT for a pound or two cheaper. I go because of the free wifi and its a cool atmosphere.They just can't cope with the influx of people, and there is a girl and a chef there who argue constantly - every time I have been in they have been at it! They work hard but it just isn't good. Today I ordered a toasted sandwich which took 35 minutes to come. I watched them carry hot food past me the whole time... surely you would make the sandwich whilst the food is cooking?Its actually not cheap either - all bar one next door is priced similarly and the food is much much nicer, it just gets too busy. Most of the people eating in London Stone are ones that couldn't get a table at all bar one.Since I had to rush my lunch today I burnt my mouth... also I asked for not chips and it came with chips. Its just a preference so I thought fine I'll just leave them. However I also requested no mayonnaise and lo and behold it came with mayonnaise! And I have an egg intolerance so I wasn't happy. Neither is my tummy! They really need to listen because if I had a full blown allergy that could have been really dangerous. I don't know if it was the fault of the chef or the bar staff but not good enough either way.Last time I will ever eat there I'm afraid to say.

Loved the atmosphere and the setting but the staff were terrible - took over 45 to order 1 salad and 2 cocktails because the bar staff were arguing behind the bar. Chicken Caeser salad too expensive for what you got.

Went here with my family for a quick lunch. Was quite impressed with the atmosphere. Quirky and original. However after waiting for an hour for food we started to get frustrated. The order was just toasted sandwhiches and burgers. After speaking to the waitress about this she said she would go and see what had happened. 5 minutes later one meal arrived. The staff seemed unable to gasp the concept we wanted to eat together and told my mum to eat hers without us. About 10 minutes later 2 other meals arrived. Both being cold... We send these back and when they came back they had clearly being microwaved even though the waitress had put her hand on the food! At this point I was still waiting for my lunch and was told I would have to wait 15 minutes and that everyone else should eat theirs. It turned out I only waited 5 minutes but the food was a poor quality even for its cheap price. Upon asking to speak to the manager we were told that we would get a refund and that they were sorry but they were very busy and had a small kitchen. The food was clearly pre prepared and microwaved and there were only two other tables in... all in all very disappointed!

My husband and I had 2 course meals and a cocktail each. The total was less than £25.00. The food wasn't amazing (cold sticky toffee pudding and very soggy fish and chips) and the place seemed a bit dirty.This place could be so much better. However, I can't complain too much as it was really inexpensive for London.

really interesting place to visit, very gothic decor and the toilets are behind a secret bookcase. people were friendly and food was simple, reasonably priced and as expected. eg ham egg and chips, caesar salad. They're not lighting any food fires here but it's a good place for a drink and a catch up

Chef decided not to show up on time. Certainly doesnt hold a candle at all to its NY sister restaurant. Not open on weekends? What a joke! Step it up, you are better than this.

Beautiful gothic venue, underground - think gargoyles, arched seats/mirrors. Have visited many times for their 'Ashes To Ashes' New Romantic 80s nights.

In London for the day, we alighted at Cannon Street Station. Just across the road we spotted the "London Stone" behind a security grill. A few steps further along the London Stone pub can be found. We ventured down the steps and were greeted by an amazing sight. The Gothic atmosphere was realistic but not over the top. There were monsters and gargoyles in niches on the walls and the tables were in alcoves around the room. We ordered our drinks at the bar and asked for the menu. The young lady who served us was very friendly and helped us with our food order. We then found a table and sat down with our drinks. Although it was quite busy we easily found a seat. We ordered pannini with chips, which arrived within 10 minutes,piping hot.The young man who brought our meal was extremely polite and made sure we had all we needed. The best part of this visit was finding the toilets! They were very well hidden! I would definitely recommend a visit to this pub if you are in the area. It does not disappoint!!

I visited this pub with my boyfriend as I had a voucher and work across the road from it. It was close to Halloween, so it seemed to be perfect. I went to the bar to order some cocktails and told them about my voucher. They would not accept the voucher as it was not printed. But the voucher is from a phone app (voucher cloud), and that's not meant to be printed! They were very rude to me, and I left and I would never go back to this place. I've also told other colleagues how I was treated, and they won't go there now either. The staff really need to learn how to treat their customers well. I may have gone to visit there quite often as I worked across the road.

I went here with work for lunch on 7th February 2014.I ordered the bacon burger with a portion of onion rings. I wasn't expecting much from the food since I have eaten at many of the gourmet burger restaurants in London and burgers anywhere else just don't compare. However this was well below even my reduced expections because it was very dry and barely edible. Furthermore the onion rings and chips tasted like something you'd make in the oven from the frozen section of a supermarket.What left me most miffed was the prices - £6 for burger and onion rings however this increased to £12.05 with a lager! Naturally I told then to forget about the drink since it was cheaper just to buy it separately. I think the error was due to their computers struggling to process the menu's special offers which makes me wonder how many people have been ripped off in the past due to these errors.Furthermore, don't bother looking at the menu on their website; some of the dishes are not available in the restaurant.The one redeeming factor the bar has is the decor. It is very unique, even for London. I would possibly be back. but probably for after-work drinks, not for food.

Decided to have a work leaving drink here with 30 or so people. Excellent place to come for somewhere a bit different. Friendly service and amazing decor.

Was looking for a gothic themed pub in London after seeing one on an episode of the Undateables. After doing a quick search, this one popped up- I'm pretty sure it's not the one featured in the episode but after looking at the menu, reviews etc it sounded like a cool little place to see. From the outset it looked great, the menu is extremely reasonable and the location is perfect directly opposite Cannon Street station. The decor is fun. On the website it said open till 11pm, food served till 10pm. We turned up there at 7.30pm on a Tuesday, the place was very quiet so we were able to get a table, got two (very watery) cocktails and browsed the extensive menu.Firstly, I went to the bar to order food, the girl who served me said she was in training and didn't know how to handle food orders. Waited for the other girl to finally appear, only to be told the kitchen was closed. Apparently, it had closed at 7. There were no signs ANY WHERE telling us this. Menus were still on the tables, even chalk boards informing us of specials. We finished our cocktails and went to leave, when my boyfriend spotted the "manager" sitting at the bar reading a newspaper. We explained the situation, I said that on the website it clearly states that food is served till 10pm. His reply was:"It's the city, what do you expect? We close at 9".I told him that the website also says open till 11pm.He then said he'd have to get some website people to look at that. Which I doubt he will do as he didn't even apologise and acted like he didn't care.Is that what he would seriously say to tourists? "It's the city?". Anyway we left hungry and annoyed, won't be back.

This sort of pub is right up my alley! I love the gothic interiour, the staff were friendly, and the food and drink was nice. I had some cheesy pasta, and I especially loved the sauce. Will most definitely visit this pub again!

I was visiting london and was really hungry and decided to try London Stone as i thought it would be abit different and it looked good on their website. After descending down the stairs it was a lot smaller than it appeared in photos. I thought the gothic dark touches and the seating areas were great and would like them in my house ! Now bearing in mind we ordered the two meals for £11.00 well the food was reflected in the price.We both had chicken wrapped in bacon with chips and peas. It was okay and filled a hole. Its not somewhere you would go for a really good quality meal but if your hungry its good and yes i would go again.

A small Gothic-theme bar opposite Cannon Street Station. Descend the stairs into a dark Gothic room complete with gargoyles, leather seating booths and ornate high-back chairs. The drinks on offer were standard beers etc but with a few year-round Halloween cocktails. The fun bit were the toilets which were hidden behind fake bookcases.

Went to London Stone with high hopes... and was left quite disapointed. It was quite easy to find from the station, walking down the stairs, we realised were were one of only 3 small groups of people in there.... We found a table that was at the back, and found the table to be very wet, the bar tender said 'Ive just cleaned it...' it was soked... We went to the bar and ordered our drinks, lovely selection of cocktails and the pitchers at just under £10 was brilliant value for money... I had seen on the website that food service stoped at 10pm, we were there by 8:30pm and were told 'oh no that has stoped' So went to sit back down and were aksed to move, as they needed to set up the equiptment for the next night... Which I found a little strange I was told 'its okay for you to move, there are plenty of seats for you to sit in...'All in all i was very disapointed with the service we recieved at London Stone, maybe they were having a bad night maybe they were getting ready for the next night. Ive been to alot of the rock and metal pubs in and around London, but this wasnt the best.

My girlfriend and I happened upon this place last weekend and I loved it. My only caveat is that I hope the owners and regular clientele don't take the horror/gothic theme too seriously because if they do this place runs a very serious risk of being overly prententious. However, providing the tongue remains firmly in cheek this is a fun place for a drink. Picture the standard spooky mansion that the Scooby Gang would investigate whenever the Mystery Machine would invariably break down outside and you're not far off London Stone.

London Stone is a unique venue almost like a cherry-picked collection of Hammer Horrors finest moments. You have statues of ghouls and goblins, musty fireplaces and secret doors behind the bookshelves which you half expect Peter Cushing or Christopher to be hiding behind.The bar is a celebration of 60's kirsch Hammer with a wide selection of beer, wine and (seven deadly sin) cocktails. The menu large and eclectic with numerous offers to tempt you from the gothic seating in booths.I make a point of visiting whenever I'im in London and have yet to be disappointed.Recommended.
