Historical version 4 of Horseshoe Inn, SE1 3QP (view current version)

Small pub with real ale and Mongolian food near Guy's Hospital and London Bridge Station. The decor inside is heavily focused on bare wood, and the interior is broken up by wooden screens with glass panes. There's a dartboard to the right of the bar.

secretlondon visited on a Friday evening in May 2009. We'd booked the upstairs function room which was plain — but included the roof terrace which was nice. They had three real ales on; Brakspears, London Pride, and another.

Kake visited shortly after, on a Sunday afternoon in May 2009. The real ales available were Brakspears Bitter, London Pride, and Davenport Bee-Zone (£1.60/half). Blackboards outside and behind the bar advertised other ales coming soon (Golden Hare, Everards Sundance, Hopback Crop Circle). When I arrived a little before 5pm there were just a couple of other customers in. Music was playing; when I arrived it was relatively quiet and sounded sort of Portishead-like. It got more bizarre, and louder, while I was there.

As of May 2009, food is served noon-9pm Mon-Sat and noon-6pm Sun. As well as a standard pub food menu photo 1, photo 2, photo 3, they also have a Mongolian menu photo.

According to an advert in the Oct/Nov 2008 edition of the London Drinker magazine, there's a quiz every Thursday.

Accessibility: Small step (more of a ridge) to get in. Step-free to the bar, at least some of the seating area, and the ladies' toilets, but didn't check the gents'.
