Does anybody know of a reasonable bar in the Canary Wharf area which meets
the folowing criteria...?

Completely smoke-free
(Five no-smoking tables in a smoke-filled room is not sufficient)

Good choice of real ales.

Errr....  Thats the only two criteria.   Any more criteria will only reduce
the choice even further.

I've been in to "All Bar One"  which claims to have a no-smoking area,  but
I could not find any area that was clear of smoke.


Thanks

No. I don't believe there is one that is completely no smoking at all.

When in doubt, do it.  It's much easier to apologize than to get permission.

I've searched myself by walking around Canary Wharf and West India Quay. 
The nearest thing I've found is the JD Wetherspoons pub near the Docklands 
Museum called the Ledger Building.

The particular Wetherspoons pub is not to my liking.

Given that I am not going to find a completely smoke-free pub,  What is 
generally considered the best pub with a choice of real-ale with a strictly 
enforced "non-smoking seating area" (not quite the same as smoke-free) 
within walking distance of Canary Wharf / West India Quay ?

Thanks

The JDW on West India Quay is the best I've been to in the Wharf, the
staff seem genuinely interested and the beer is good and cheap. I
agree it isn't the best pub atmosphere, but with the kind of
establishments as the Cat & Canary, All Bar One and the Henry
Addington what can you hope for?

For a decent pub I would head for Greenwich as the nearest location.
