Dirty Dicks - 202 Bishopsgate, EC2M 4NR
Directly opposite Liverpool Street station this pub has a lot more to offer than just a smutty sounding name. Excellent Young's beers and a decent sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the City. An ideal place to escape to catch up on some work Dirty Dicks benefits from wi-fi supplied by The Cloud. Providing you can find a table, the pub is hugely preferable to The Pitcher & Piano next door but one.

In case you're wondering, the pub is reportedly named after a poor soul called Nathanial Bentley who, following the death of his wife, locked himself away and eschewed such things as company and hygiene. (map)
