The Horseshoe
The Horseshoe is a pub situated in a very quiet part of Farringdon. From outside you have you really squint from afar to see there is indeed a pub tucked away here. Inside it is larger than it looks in this hidden cove of a place. The bar serves up a good ale on tap and the make-up of the crowd is local people enjoying each others company to the tune of up-beat dance music which doesn’t bust any ears drums for noise level. Its not over-crowded making it a good place to have a conversation. Cider tap was out but at least the ale quenched my thirst. Its ten quid for a round of 3 pints and a gin and Tonic and really the place is nothing spectacular but if the company is good it does the job. Not sure I could spend a full night in here, its a world away but that might be the problem. Navigating back to where all the action is means plodding through some very quiet back roads of Farringdon.
I would say go here if you feel like getting out the city for a local ale of an evening without leaving the comfort of the centre of town. 5/10.

The Jerusalem Tavern, The Sekforde Arms, The Three Kings, The Betsey Trotwood and The Crown Tavern are all pubs within an 200 yard radius of this one, and all are better for a good beer and pleasant surroundings. You can read my pub reviews at http://stonch.blogspot.com
By the way, this pub isn’t in Farringdon. Farringdon’s a ward of the City of London, far to the south of here (down by Fleet Street). The area in which this pub (indeed Farringdon Station) is situated is called Clerkenwell. The confusion arises because the station was originally named after nearby Farringdon Road, which in turn is named after the area it leads to some way to the south.
