The Wheatsheaf

The Wheatsheaf is something of a cultural landmark in one of London’s most untouched parts of the city. Its not the venue as such which brings the atmosphere in here to life but the animation of its characters. The Wheatsheaf sits opposite borough market and therefore this means its locals are all wearing aprons, carrying loud laughs and cheery smilkes while the food on the menu has migrated from a fresh meat stand only 2 metres across the road. The food is pukka. The venue is all old and wooden with sphereical gaussian glass in the left wall to seperate out the two sides and the bar is a small but tiny space served by the friendly (if not forgetful) bar persons. With food and drink more reasonable than any you may get further into town this is definitely worth popping in for a pint.
Overall it remains quite small but the place cant have been decorated in 200 years and it really smiles over the testiment of time, I am even told it gets packed on a saturday - 7/10
