Thanks Rosie, I've just checked the posts from 2008. Apologies to Mr Strafer. I can obviously only comment from my experience since moving here towards the end of 2009. I didn't think the FHT had a licence after 12 midnight, although it looks like they did have a licence until 5am, which seems a bit absurd. I've tried to check the council website for current licence arrangements but the site seems to be down right now. ibilly99 obviously witnessed last nights events, as he's taken a photo.

I certainly can't recollect the FHT being open into the small hours, so probably factually correct saying it hasn't happened before. Let's hope it is a one-off, as being woken at 2.45 with 30 minutes of shouting and screaming outside your front door isn't much fun. Thanks for the sympathy. I've just checked the news and can report that the world went to hell in a hand cart some time ago.....

I'd just like to say a big thank you to the 100+ "yoofs" that made their way down Forest Hill Road towards Peckham Rye from The Rose (Forest Hill Tavern)between 2:45am and 3:15am this morning. There was no shouting, screaming or swearing from these well lubricated revellers. There were no car doors banging shut and no car horns going off and I wasn't woken from a deep sleep. And of course a big thank you to The Rose itself for ensuring their clientele conducted themselves properly on leaving the premises. Oh, by the way - can anyone tell me when the pub secured a late licence till 3am on a Friday? This isn't the first time there's been a bit of noise in the street at kicking-out time, but previously this was around midnight, not in the wee small hours. Never happened when it was the FHT......
