Historical version 2 of Whitesmiths Arms, SE1 3YD (view current version)

A locals' pub in Borough, located just behind Guy's Hospital.

Note: As of June 2011, Pubs Galore reports that the Whitesmiths Arms is closed with builders present. We don't know if this is a permanent closure or just a refurb.

Inside, this is a fairly spacious two room pub, with plenty of long tables for seating. It's old-fashioned but in a good way, service is friendly, and even on Ewan's Friday evening visit, there was still plenty of space for seating. Our large group spent a far more pleasurable evening in here than at the nearby Miller of Mansfield, which attracts a far younger and rowdier demographic.

There are three handpulls for ale, serving the usual Courage Best, as well as plenty of regular cooking lagers on draught. There's also a basic pub food menu.

Seating is available around the back in a beer garden, with some cover, for smokers.
