The Ledger Building

A mi los wetherspoon siempre me gustan, es comida a un buen precio, bebida a un buen precio y espacio para grupos «grandes»
No espereis un servicio personalizado ni mucho menos, estos bares son siempre grandes y mà s bien «self service» pero la comida que te ofrecen por esos precios es de lo mejor que puedes encontrar en Londres si no quieres arruinarte.
Mi preferida la Brunch burger con una pinta por solo 8,99 :)

So went for a meal here with some friends and have to say was totally disappointed… I understand you get what you pay for but i didnt even get that. My food I ordered was completely wrong and when I mentioned it to the manager he told me oh well we don’t have what you asked for. I wasn’t told when ordering and he didn’t even check to see if they had it in stock. Was left with food I couldn’t eat. The attitude of the staff in this weatherspoons is the worse I’ve encountered over time and I would avoid.

Please don’t serve Mexican food, you have no idea how to make it. Appalling. Absolutely the worst meal of my life.

If you go to the cineworld 3 houses down, get your tickets first cuz yiu get 20% off on your food n drinks in this Weatherspoons.
Nice building, pretty big and always a free table to find (so fat),
Staff could be trained a little better but they do the job.
Decent selection of Lager (Brooklyn)

Part of the Wetherspoons chain this place is really great value for money but not only that it’s a beautiful place to relax after a meal. The roofs are high and the décor is bright and welcoming making the place feel really spacious and welcoming. We spent quite a few hours here and never once felt like we were in the way or taking up space. Oh and the bathrooms are HUGE you could have a party in there!

To be honest I started to give this Wetherspoons three stars, but upon reflection I’m giving them four for the reasons I’ll describe.
First, this is a Wetherspoons… if you hate Wetherspoons then they’re not going to change your mind here, it is what it is.
As with many people I tend to shy away from most Wetherspoons and certainly don’t seek them out if I’m in a new city, etc., I would much rather spend my time searching for a random no name local over any chain pub. That said, this particular Wetherspoons has come to my rescue quite a few times now so they’re getting an extra star from me.
As mentioned in some of my other reviews, I live in this area which often means if I want a lazy drink on the weekend without getting on the tube a) I find myself around here after the cinema, etc., and b) I’m not «dressed to go out»… in the summer I may very well have shorts on, dare to think. The first time we wended up at this Wetherspoons however it was the only place still open in the area so there wasn’t really a choice… we went in, had a couple of beers and a chat, and generally agreed it wasn’t the torturous experience we thought it might have been.
Armed with the knowledge of the above, we found ourselves here a second time after having been turned away from others pubs in the area for having the previously mentioned shorts on after «x» hour… they wouldn’t even let me sit outside of one of the pubs that we’ve watched football in before, as in this place is a proper pub, not a fancy bar… still, the bouncer said no one with shorts was allowed anywhere on the premises so I couldn’t even sit on the outside benches… grrr! Never a problem during the day mind you, but at night there’s often different rules. Alas, this review isn’t for them however. So, of we go down to the Ledger Building uncertain as to our fortunes, but being a Wetherspoons shorts were of course not a problem… they smiled at us, let us in, and again we found ourselves unexpectedly having a few beers and a chat here… following a few similar experiences we’ve just conceded and often go here if we think there’s any reason we’re not cool enough on a particular night to get into one of the other pubs on the quay.
The place itself is quite spacious and pretty interesting for a Wetherspoons… as mentioned by some the bathrooms are also unique, and definitely a cut about your normal pub toilets. They do a decent rotation of pseudo craft beers, and have extra cheap Baltika (a Russian beer that I like) so as you would imagine you can do an evening here quite cheap if you wanted to. (The first time we ordered we thought they hadn’t charged us for something to be honest!)
The crowd is often a Wetherspoons crowd, but hey… you’re in a Wetherspoons, so can’t complain about that can you! Hens and occasional ruckus aside we’ve still always managed to hold on to that «hanging out» vibe so it hasn’t been enough to run me away or convince me to not wear shorts when it’s warm outside on an evening in hopes of getting into one of the other pubs.
I will say I haven’t eaten here, but from what I’ve seen it’s standard Wetherspoons fare… cheap, not above average, dining… but kudos for the calories on the menu. I also would’t recommend this as a weekend destination if you wanted that «London» atmosphere… it gets busy, but not centre of London busy… for me that’s a saving grace, but for others it may be a negative if you’re looking for a party vibe. (Despite my four star rating I also wouldn’t make a straight run for here if you’re a tourist or visitor in the area.)
So, in the end it is what it is and they carry the banner as well as any Wetherspoons can, but they are getting that extra star for always being so nice to me at the door therefore not stripping me of a post cinema pint on the walk home that is such a nice to have.

The Ledger Building is really close to the financial district, so you get a lot of after-​work types. The space is huge (and they share a weird/​cool bathroom downstairs with the restaurant next door). The beer selection was great, and they have special prices on a ton of beers so it was super cheap. A bunch of TVs to watch the game, and the bartenders are super friendly.

Pretentious Wetherspoons pub which is ok if you want a quite night out. If you want a fun night out at the weekend then I suggest you avoid this place.
I’ve been quite a few times because friends have chosen to meet there but we never really stay long because it gets boring very quickly. The drinks are reasonably priced and the bar staff are generally good. However, the door staff can be quite rude at times which can be quite unwelcoming.

Good pub, good staff! Always friendly, clean and tidy. You can take measure of a pub by it’s toilets and they’ve got this sussed. If only they were a little closer to Canary Wharf (rather than tucked away on the corner of the docks) it would be a middle of the night (rather than start/​occasionally end of the trail) place to drink!

It’s the only Wetherspoon near Canary Wharf and winner of the 2004 pub toilet of the year awards. What more can you ask for?
Spacious interior, cheap booze, reasonably priced reasonable food. Typical Wetherspoon really. It has a better atmosphere than many of the more expensive places in the area, and the prices are better but it’s a bit out of the way from the main Canary Wharf estate.

Can’t actually believe I am admitting that I went here on Unilocal.I should check and see if my Elite badge has been stripped.
This place is next to my office. It’s a Wetherspoons, this is enough to ensure that I would never set foot in the door but my co-​workers wanted a ‘cheap and cheerful lunch’. Cheap and cheerful do not go hand in hand in my book. Oliver Twist, I am not.
They have so many deals on here that it’s impossible to know what to order. Everything comes with chips. They have Curry Wednesdays. It’s all too much for me.
So we ordered what we considered the daily special ‘Roast pork sandwich £2.99′. I had flights of fantasy about Broadway’s Market’s decadent hog roast. I am a fool. We got two slices of wholemeal brown bread, unbuttered, and the grimest slices of prison pork I’ve ever seen. No apple sauce, no whisper of anything else. This might well be the worst sandwich I’ve ever eaten out.
Well actually, I only ate the bread and the chips. I have a healthy respect for food poisoning.
My colleague’s burger look reasonably okay. The venue is lovely on the river, and they have a nice selection of ciders, but for your own sake, don’t eat there.

Best Spoons I’ve been to so far, it’s a really nice area and great décor, the bar has a really varied selection of beers and ales. Food is standard Wetherspoons fare: cheap, quick, and decent. The loos are unexpectedly beautiful, though :)

Lovin this place! Though it looks like its a chain, we had a great time enjoying the food and drinks.
We went Friday night before a movie night and found ourselves pleasantly surprised at the food options! The food came out quicker than expected and was really good. I had the skinny chicken burger, which was really good and hubby had the regular burger which he enjoyed. Only thing I didnt like was the fries… really dry. next time ill get the salad.
Atmosphere was fun — looked like mostly folks who were looking to let off some steam on a Friday night before going back home. And with 11 pound bottles of wine, who wouldnt give that a go? will definitely be back. for brunch/​drinks/​whatever!

Happy to find a Wetherspoons everywhere I go. Decent drink prices, but the food prices are better.
We showed up 5 minutes late for breakfast, but the friendly barman suggested we get the brunch which is around the same price but has chips instead of a hash brown (sad!) so we went with that.
The food came out quickly! I was mentally preparing myself for a 10 minute wait but the food was ready almost before we chose a seat.
The usual football fans were there with their pints, and a few women out for their Sunday morning catch ups. Fabulous carpeting and interesting art work throughout.
Check this place out soon! And ask how and when they managed to get the pigeon out of the rafters. ;)

Despite being a Wetherspoons, this is actually a fairly serviceable pub. The actual building is characterful and there are interesting period photos on the walls. I found the staff friendly and helpful. The selection of soft drinks was impoverished but that’s normal. Solid.

Very nice pub in the heart of Canary Wharf, reasonably priced as you would expect from the Wetherspoons pub chain. The Ledger Building is where all the records of the docks were kept in its hayday. Also check out the old black & white photographs of the area

Whilst this is a Wetherspoons/​Lloyds Bar chain, it is the nicest one I’ve been to. The building is Grade 1 listed and there are lots of old maps and photographs of the area when it was a dirty, working dock… very different from the shiny glass skyscrapers of today.
Food is as you would expect (cheap and average) and there are lots of guest ales for sale at the expected low prices.
Perhaps the most unexpected thing to mention are the toilets, which have won an award from the British Toilet Association as the ‘Best Loos in the United Kingdom!’. Ha ha! They are indeed spotless and unusual.

A recent refit has improved this pub greatly from the previous dire interior that did the beautiful building a disservice. Food is cheap and you get what you pay for. A large selection of average or below average lagers on tap. The one good beer was sold out when I visited. Maybe there’s a message there, more guest beers on tap.

I’ve been going here for a number of years now and I used to LOVE it at first, but as I’ve got older, the bar just looks like it’s in need of modernising. It’s still far better than any other Spoons I’ve seen but it could be better for the clientelle around.
Prices are good (as per normal) but even more of a shock is the staff here serve you promptly, are friendly and will even crack a joke! now I’m not used to this and so love it here for that very reason.

This bar is a Wetherspoon’s and it’s obvious. It’s a nice place but being part of a chain shows and it lacks any kind of charm or really anything unique.
During the weeknights it will be packed with the working stiffs from the banks and finance centres at Canary Wharf. Unless you happen to be one of these people, work with these people or like to be around large intoxicated groups of them, it’s best to stay away during those times.
Having said that, I really enjoy this bar on the weekends for the selection and prices. This bar has real ales on tap and they number close to, if not achieve, double digits. If you’re like me and prefer ale to cold, bland lagers, than this is quite a draw. The taps frequently rotate with guest ales so I generally find something new to try.
Food is okay, it’s a chain pub and you get what you would expect.
My wife and I usually go here before going to the cinema. I wouldn’t spend a lot of time here, but I do enjoy popping in for a pint of real ale.

Everytime i go in here, i appear to end up drunk.lol. i don’t know if thats because i enjoy the wine too much? or maybe i go here with my dad who also enjoys the wine!
Seriously though, i do usually end up very drunk on leaving here, (and yes it is the wine’s fault) but i thinks that its because its such a good price that i just feel the need to buy more.
I know its a spoons, but i have had some nice food in here. Shock Horror i know! but yes it is true, it probably may of been micro’d and i may well have been drunk. but it was cheap cheerfuland filled me up! lol.
