picture of Bishops Finger An old favourite in Smithfield, this ones had a bit of a 'café-style' makeover of late. Though nothing too serious to degrade the feel of a pub in such an earthy bit of London. A good range of Shepherd Neame ales to work your way through and a decent range of pub food to fill up on while drinking (though with Smithfield meat market across the road you'd expect nothing else). Some fine old cartoons and drawings decorate the walls and add to the pleasant air of the place. It gets pretty crowded at the usual business times, but is, nevertheless, a well-deserved three pinter.
