The Market Porter

PubLocals' pick

A classic Borough Market pub and one of London's last 'early houses': it keeps the old market licence and pours pints from 06:00 to 09:00 on weekdays for traders and night workers, then shuts for an hour and reopens at 10:00. Harvey's Sussex Best is a regular on the handpumps.
