The staff, venue and location were exceptional
The food was for 30 people but not a lot was there. It was amazing quality but we could have done with more for the price.

They kindly let us have it at a discounted price, as we had a very limited budget, and it was January. The staff there were so nice and helpful, and did their best to help us in any way they could. Standard drink prices. Easy to find location, so close to Monument tube station.

About The Walrus and Carpenter

You will find The Walrus and The Carpenter in Monument London within a short stroll of Lower Thames St, London Bridge and Great Tower Street – however you won't find another like it.

Step in to discover a traditional pub of unique character, revered for its eclectic range of real ales and its quality pub food, which are served, as they should be, with a generous measure of famous British hospitality.

The Walrus and The Carpenter takes its name from a poem by Lewis Carroll. The verse is recited by Tweedledum and Tweedledee in 'Through The Looking Glass'. We stand in the shadow of history, in view of The Monument to commemorate the Great Fire of London. The column's height marks the distance to the site of Thomas Farynor's bakery in Pudding Lane where the fire began.
