Weekday only London pubs

Morning all,

I’m meeting up with a friend of mine on Thursday in London and think it would good form to try and do some ‘weekday-only’ pubs.

Any suggestions for good ones? Jerusalem Tavern, Ye Olde Mitre and the Bell on Cannon St are well-known to me, but are there any others that are worth seeking out that fit the bill?

I am in that neck of the woods right now,I will reportback later,in the meantime I like The Castle, Furnival Street.

Peacock on Minories, frustrating this doesn't open weekends (contrary to their website), as would be a good venue for a couple of hours comedy darts!
CAMRA discount. Hopefully more choice than jaqptim found.

Would have said Old Fountain, but that now opens weekends.

The Edgar Wallace The Old Bank of England, and The Devereux.

Quite a few more around there that close on Sundays but open for all or part of Saturday.

Harrild and Sons good pub good beer.Pelt Trader decent but good beer.You could check out the latest Wetherspoon pub next door to the Pelt Trader or maybe not.

As an aside, although I don't tend to go into the City that much at the weekend, there has definitely been something of a move over recent years to more pubs opening on Saturday (at least during the day, and - to a more limited extent - on Sundays).

Not too much to add on todays experience, would recommend as previously mentioned The Castle
but you have reviewed it in the past,agree with John on Harrild & Sons , The Gunmakers is now well buggerd, scathing update to follow shortly,best beer of the day was in one of your mentioned pubs The Jerusalem Tavern couple wildcard quick halves could be The Sutton Armsbasic but a little character and a couple of decent beers, today from Otley and Crate.
The Hat and Tunnot bad looking but not all that special as a pub and The Viaduct Tavern is well worth a look architecturally but average beerwise, forget The Magpie And Stump diagonally opposite, uninspiring and a total rip off, £4.85 for a pint of Adnams Ghostship.
