EC2 City, Bishopsgate & Liverpool Street.
Stations - Liverpool Street (BR/Central/Circle/Metropolitan), Moorgate (BR/Circle/Metropolitan/Northern), Bank (Central/Northern/DLR).
Largely part of the city and dominated by banks and offices, this area takes in Bank and Cheapside on the south and then extends up to Old Street and Shoreditch taking in the Barbican and Liverpool Street Station districts. As might be expected here are plenty of places to drink in the afternoons but fewer and fewer stay open as the evening goes on - unless you are in one of the residential area. A growing number of pubs require proper dress at most times.
The new Broadgate complex around Liverpool Street Station has seen the demise of three pubs in Bishopsgate. Keep a look out for developments at the station itself as it is currently publess, though the plans are there to have one. Elsewhere there seem to be more of the larger brewers' pubs than in other parts of the City - and particularly Whitbread houses around their former Brewery in Chiswell Street.
If you get lost in the Barbican complex follow the yellow line to the exit.
