Fuller's Ale & Pie House just south of London Bridge (the bridge, not the station).
The drinking part of the pub is across two floors; a main floor with a double-height ceiling photo and a mezzanine above, reached via a spiral staircase. The interior is reasonably-sized and quite ornate, with carvings on the chairbacks, murals on the walls photo, and decorative pillars. Seating is a mix of sofas, banquettes, high stools and tables, and normal-height chairs and tables.
They have six handpulls, offering Fuller's ales including seasonal specials. In May 2013, these were Brewers Brass (£1.95/half), Spring Sprinter, ESB, and London Pride; they also had keg London Porter, Honey Dew, and Aspalls Cyder on tap. On the same visit, Kake's first pint of lime and soda was £1.20 and the second was £1.40, for some reason. When bob visited in November 2007, the Pride was very drinkable.
According to their website as of May 2013, food is served noon-9pm Mon-Tue, noon-10pm Wed-Sat, and noon-6pm Sun. According to the menu as of the same month, they also serve bar snacks from 4pm Mon-Sat. See photos of the menu as of May 2013: specials, starters/sandwiches/"classics", pies and salads, sides and puddings, bar snacks and sharing boards.
In May 2013 Kake tried the puy lentil, feta, and tomato salad (£9.25) photo. It was fine, though the lentils were a little too al dente for my taste, and it was pretty expensive for what it was.
As of May 2013, they have free wireless via O2; join the network, visit any web page and you'll be redirected to a form where you can put in your mobile number and they'll text you an access code. It's not clear how you can use this service if you don't have a mobile phone with you.
Accessibility: Several steps at the entrance. The toilets are down a flight of stairs, and if there's a step-free way of getting down there, it's not obvious.
