I heard it from a staff member! When I asked them who had bought it, the person replied, the boss won't tell us. Some Business man looking to develop it. Furniture was also being shifted out today - what looked like a bit of a tidy up.


For those of us living behind/ within the vicinity of the pub we are very keen on knowing who/ what etc...

...that's the problem, that's all I know. i.e that it has allegedly been sold. Rumours a few months back was that several chains were interested in getting in on the ED strip. The staff member distinctly said it was a private businessman, but that's all he knew. Maybe another Gastro-pub awaits us....Perhaps the patrons might be a slightly less rowdy? who knows. It was one of the last remaining "old Codger" hangouts. Oh and Trivia night is gone...Peace on Sundays for a while....

I personally am a big fan of the Mag. Nowhere else has sport on like it, with a good atmosphere.

its closing for a referb around the 8th July.

The manager could not say who was taking over as he himself has not been told.

For some people who are being made redundant its their livelyhood and home. I bet noone is giving them a second thought!

Bummer. Why can't they just keep the old staff on or are there some grand plans for the place? Or is it some big pub-co taking over who will intall waitrons and bartrons to sell overpriced beer and prefabricated food?


Anyway I wonder if they will have opened up again by 26 July and wil still be serving pizza for a certain pub crawl that is happening.

Their busiest night was comedy club night and they stopped it, and it was the only thing that seperated them from all the other pubs.

When the forum had their monthly 'do' it was difficult to hold a conversation, as the noise from their sound system drowned everything out.

I feel that almost any change in the management structure, would be an improvement.

    • Its a few years ago now, but I organised my end of year prom (for year 13) at Off the Cuff in Herne Hill - was on the cheaper side to rent and at that age, felt very cool and clubby. I had my own 18th at Whirled Cinema in Loughborough Junction but I'm not sure if they take event bookings like that anymore 
    • You are right . It isn't going to change him for the better. Sending such a negative message is potentially counter-productive. Trump is narcissistic, arrogant, unpredictable, spiteful, divisive, and dishonest, with a penchant for a total a disregard for democratic norms.  He is one who bears a grudge so there's a case to be made for not offending him as he could react with a bunch of  adverse actions  such as  deciding to increase import tariffs on UK exports to the US.      
    • Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.  
    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
