Set in the brick arches beneath the platforms of Cannon Street station, Loose Cannon is popular with workers on their lunch hour and, again, after knocking-off time. Done out with comfortable leather seating, the softly lit main bar offers a relaxed refuge from the day-to-day pressures of City life – so wind down with wines from £16.95, or sip a cool pint of draught Sharp’s Doom Bar or Asahi while shooting pool or watching top sporting events on a large screen. To eat, there’s a familiar mixture of reasonably priced comfort food including fish and chips, curries, deep-filled sandwiches, salads and daily specials ranging from chicken parmigiana with garlic bread to steak and ale pie with mash. Space for private hire extends to a mezzanine gallery overlooking the main bar, and a capacious vaulted banqueting hall accommodating up to 450 celebrants.
