The Bell in City of London, Westminster

Been dropping by this pub for many years now when I’m in the city and what a gem it is. The lady who runs it is an absolute star. Her name is K Great service on the bar but not afraid to get her hands dirty collecting glasses. Great choice of lagers and beets. Harvey’s bitter and Timothy Taylor landlord are 2 crackers. One of the oldest pubs in the city. Great on a summer afternoon. Highly recommended- great atmosphere

Was served by Daragh and the service was of the highest standard. I really like the Bell as the atmosphere is amazing. A great selection of food and drinks served by a friendly and knowledgeable team. I really enjoy drinking the premium keg products and they also have a great selection of spirits also. I really recommend visiting this pub if you have time. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Found this pub from walking around the city whilst on our holiday! And what an amazing bar, very traditional old school bar! Service was amazing, Kristie was 5 star she was so helpful for us tourist on our holiday! Definetly a bar I’d recommend to visit! Pies were the best I’ve ever had!

Professional, polite and extremely helpful Staff. Experts in pub food and drinks. Cosy place in the heart of London City, a stone's throw from Sky Garden, yet on the side of the main road so not so noisy as in other places around the area. Reasonable prices, great selection of wines, beers and other beverages. Clean and high standard toilets. Worth stopping by to rest and relax after a strenuous day. Highly recommended!

Very nice atmosphere came with some friends. Nice selection of beer would definitely come back again! Shout out to the barman Daragh

Dropped in for dinner. Quaint historical pub. Service at the bar was average. Two young girls more interested in their own conversation. Beer was good, but you really can’t go too wrong with beer. They only do pies. The meal, whilst presented nicely was not hot and we’ve had better pies whilst in London. Maybe a better place to have a beer rather than a meal.

Classic charming old City of London pub. Kamila the landlady was very friendly.... really nice atmosphere. Would recommend.

visited the pub for some food and a couple of drinks last week, food is great, and drinks and reasonably priced for the area. The staff are very attentive and friendly. We sat upstairs to eat and it’s very cosy and clean. Highly recommend!

This pub has reasonable prices for London with a good range of drinks on offer. Service was efficient at the bar.

Highly recommend!! Great customer service and amazing pies! Very cosy and intimate - perfect for a date as well!

Quick and very friendly service, perfect beers and excellent pie! We are coming back for sure! Thanks for all the staff!!

Walked for ages trying to find a traditional pub and finally found this place. Nice features and immaculate toilets. Lovely staff and excellent crispy pie for lunch. Good selection of beers and prices reasonable for central London.

What a beautiful gem this pub is tucked away in the city. Great drinks selection and the pies are to die for. The landlady and the bar staff are very welcoming and very attentive to detail. Decor is beautiful with wooden beams. Very clean and will definitely return as last Thursday was a great atmosphere.

Lovely place with amazing Ales 😍 The Guinness as well was marvellous and so creamy ! Friendly staff too, especially the Landlady Kamila was extremely accommodating ! Definitely a must visit pub if you are in the city ! Did I mention how incredible the pies are ? Delicious!!

Came across this lovely little pub just off canon street. Stopped for a pint and stayed for a pie. It was delicious. Will definitely be back the next time Im in the area. Thanks team!

Hello! I went to the bell today and my friends and I had a fabulous steak and a very good quality beer, we will definitely be back here

In an age of ubiquitous chromed chain establishments, The Bell retains its indivuality and charm. It hasn’t changed and that’s how and why most of its customers flock back. Been coming here longer than I care to remember and it’s still a great pub. It harks back to decent beer and pub food and a place to chat with friends and strangers. New landlord Daragh ‘gets’ pubs and is clearly looking to keep standards high whilst retaining all that is good.

Called in here with my brother, on our way to liverpool street station. Dargah the barman couldn't do enough for us. Had a couple of drinks, food looked amazing. Highly recommended.

Great service. Good atmosphere. Nothing was too much for Jack, Claudio and the gentleman in charge. Very attentive. Also the pub is just very homely and clean.

Ate here on the hoof as there was only 10 mins left to get food. Had the chicken pies and they were really nice. Had a couple of drinks there too. Be prepared it closed at 10pm, which was a shock in London.

Great service in a historical setting. We come in all the way from Canary Wharf just to visit. No other place like it in London.

The Bell is a brilliant pub, that is what lots of pubs used to be. So glad that this one has stuck to its roots as a proper British pub in the heart of the City. Ticks all the boxes you could want from a...

This pub serves great British beers and lagers and bar snacks. The service is very quick, even when busy, and the staff are friendly and polite. There is no loud music so you can chat to friends.

Visited recently with 2 former wok colleagues. Used to frequent from late 1970's to mid 1990's when it was a noted 'dealers (FX) pub' Atmosphere has been preserved and they still serve a good pint

Nice pub but found the prices of drinks very high . Asked for a bunch of drinks and a piht of Orange and lemonade the total was £15.something he gave me a pint of lemonade .. pointed it out he added some Orange and the...

Myself and a work colleague are stopping in a hotel nearby and we fancied a pint in a pub. There are plenty of wine bars in the area but the bell is a traditional pub just what we wanted. Typical London prices 1x Peroni and...

This is a proper London boozer. It serves good beer, in a friendly way. It's always had Cornish beer, tribute and doom bar, but it also has a very decent pint of Harvey's Sussex bitter. Not a place for a whole evening but perfect for...

With my ex colleagues, we use to come to th bell often, good choice of drinks, the service is quick and polite. We ended knowing the staff, and they are very nice. I've heard the food is really good as well. Can't go wrong with...

When I first moved to London a few years ago, I was working close to the Bell and quickly became a regular customer. Nowadays, myself and the guys I started going there with have spread out and are working in more distant areas of the...

The Bell is a 500 year old City of London pub with real homely charm and character. The bar staff are polite and attentive and the lunch menu, although short, is very reasonably priced, especially if you bring a friend on a 2-for-1 burger day.

Called in on the 23rd Feb, young guy behind the bar, face like a farmers bottom no interaction is it home time look on his face, told me they closed in 10 min's any other boozers in the area i asked, dunno - on research...

you enter from a street where everything is so modern into a pub set back in time. incredible to find an old fashioned boozer like this but it stands the test of time very well. Good selection of beer at a very competitive price in...

Great pub, very good selection of beers and wine, service very fast and lovely staff. 1 min walking from cannon Street station and 5 min walking from Bank Station.

Do not consider going to this pub if you want to watch any sport. It advertises itself as showing Sky. On entry the barmaid said they did not show Sky although her colleague corrected her. When the game started she could not turn on the...

This used to be our local back when I first started working in the City (whisper it; in the Eighties). I have happy but hazy memories of long Friday afternoons spent here when the culture was a bit more relaxed than it is now.

As a regular i really like the wine here ,

It is one of the best pubs around the city of london good people, honest service and very good beer the homemade burguers are so tasty as the roast dinners . Nice pub

Escondido en una calle lateral cerca de la estación de Cannon St. Zona de bar muy pequeño pero tiene un comedor de arriba. Si te gusta londres pubs antiguos que conservan su aspecto periodo como éste. Bastante oscuro dentro y decoración nada especial, pero tiene un buen ambiente y tiene buenas cervezas siempre. Pinta agradable de Sussex en la última semana. No comer, pero el menú parece ser comida de pub sabroso. Recomiendo para los amantes de la ale.

Nothing fancy but beer is very good so well kept bar. Burgers are homemade and a new special every week keeps it interesting. I like it. Yummy

Justo a la salida Cannon Street en medio del acero y vidrio modernidad este pequeño pub sigue siendo una referencia de la ciudad tradicional de pub de Londres. un martes por la noche en diciembre los clientes spiller en Bush Lane. Decir que La calidez y la ruidosa risa todo. Con una buena variedad de cervezas y excelente servicio pubs como éste continuará prosperando. No comimos pero espera la comida sana buena comida de pub que no busques lujos a apreciar la historia y disfrutar de la tradicional para unos tragos con entretenida conversación.

Yo no creo que ninguno de ellos había dejado en Londres, por la ciudad. Bar muy básico, en una habitación en forma de oblongas, donde había una zona sentado con sofá para parejas y un mayor número de altos taburetes de bar, con una buena zona vieja stand-y-bebida tradicional en la zona central.

Small not much seating but a proper drinkers pub. No frills but that's what I liked compared to all the trendy bars elsewhere

In need of tradition, something less rushed and wanting to avoid lunchtime masses, I came across this little gem of a pub. There was a great lunchtime atmosphere (it was Friday) not too busy but full of laughter. There's a picture of Sid James on the wall and it's no hardship to imagine him leaning against the bar spinning yarns and banking laughs. A simple, but ample menu that gets to the point without trying hard - good honest fare. As for the ale, as I say Mecca! Enjoy...

This is a typical old style english pub full of character very good beer nd a very friendly service lovely place lucky i am to work close by !!!

Down a side street next to Cannon St station, I often see drinkers outside this pub. Having ventured in for a quick pint I now know why outside is better. The bar is like someone's living room, devoid of furniture except for a table in one corner and the bar by the wall. It's an old pub by all accounts but lacks character unfortunately.

Called in totally unplanned on a day out in London for a late lunch. Monday to Wednesday get 2 meals for the price of one so even better. Very limited menu but what was served up was excellent. My rare roast beef, veg and mash was delicious and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his freshly cooked burger. Very small upstairs eating area but very good.
