With a pleasant terrace for people-watching in the heart of the cross, this pub (formerly called Sugarmill) has an interesting interior, with columns and high pressed-tin ceilings that hint at its banking past. The main bar does decent-priced food and is popular for live sport; upstairs, the Sweethearts roof terrace is a cracking spot that fills fast.
