The Miller

The Miller

Part of our Best Pubs in London microsite. See if we've included your local.

If you thought that the biggest shock in the London Bridge area was finding out how much it costs to visit the View From the Shard, then here's a bigger one. The Miller looks utterly average, sub-average even, from the outside (although the head-scratching addition of the word 'HOOPLA!' gives some indication that all is not what it seems) — like an estate pub aimed at locals only. Nothing could be further from the truth.

This place has many attractions, be it the excellent range of unusual ales, a superb range of ciders and perry, the prominent pool table, the upstairs music and comedy venue, the terrace ping-pong, the excellent pizzas, the boozy slush puppies, the DJ nights or the compact beer garden. Any one of these would be sufficient to imbue the adjective 'decent', but all together they add up to a thoroughly excellent pub. The food offering from burger kings Bunsmiths adds yet more tastiness.

Slush puppies... made with Pimms and other child-corrupting drinks.

It can get quite rowdy of an evening, especially when the students at nearby Guy's decide to let their hair down, but that can be attractive too. It's Miller time!

So that's what Tony Blair's doing these days.

OK, it's not a pretty beer garden, but at least it has one.

An excellent place for real ale lovers. Scrawl behind the bar tells you the average distance the beers have travelled - today, it's 5.4 miles. This may be something of a fib - three of the beers shown here are from way outside London. Still nice, though.

Now this, ladies and gentleman, is a piece of furniture always guaranteed to raise a pub from the merely good to the genuinely great.

Terrace table tennis. Try saying that after three alcoholic slush puppies.

You know how there's this fad for filling pubs with random, non-matching chairs acquired at some kind of car-boot sale or something? Well this place is the Olympic champion at doing that.
