Cheers for that.

Surprising to see it's over 25 years since it closed.

Youre welcome!!

 

It was empty for quite sometime before reopening as an eaterie which ive completely forgotten the name of.

It was a busy place way back in the 80's when my father used it on weekends. Predominantly an Irish and West Indian pub back then as were many others around Brixton at the time.
