Now that I am on a proper keyboard - what is with goer's post(s). Several of the bars on the Lane accept cards but sometimes have problems and can accept cash only. What has happened to make him/her so upset hear. I get there is some confusion and a problem with a CAPS LOCK Key but it would take more than that for me to go on a rampage about a pub...


It probably is the furthest pub in the area from a cashie which makes it inconvenient but still

I think his/her's frustration is with being told cards were acceptable and then being told otherwise at the end. I understand this and would equally be pissed off. Whether it's worth half a dozen rants and two threads to tell it (nicely censored Mr Admin) is another thing altogether.


One expects teething problems with a new establishment - give them a chance to rectify the problem and try again.

This place is growing on me hugely. Popped in there yesterday with my skin n' blister and met up with the Right Honourable EDOldie Esq. I'm so glad they've kept the Timothy Taylor's Landlord. It's a very pleasant space to spend time in and I can see this becoming quite a regular haunt for the Lush.


Went to a birthday soiree upstairs at the EDT afterwards and I really like what they've done with the space up there too so much so that I'm seriously considering filling in my application form for the Members Club, which is quite something as I normally follow the Groucho Marx view about clubs. Ended up in the Black Cherry for a few more snifters and got home quite periwinkled. Rather a good Sunday on the whole.

The Lodge, ok. So not The Den! lol


I've been a member of a members club before and what I find really annoying is that they often just end up allowing anyone in anyway! So I'll have a look, but I'd be weary of paying a high membership fee for this reason, especially since I feel there is a probably a limited marked for this in ED. I suspect the membership bit is an excuse to have the place open till later, which I'm actually in favour of. Does anyone have more information about this place?


Sorry, probably need a new thread on this really.

Went to the Magnolia for lunch yesterday, it was really really lovely. Rose has done a super job. They did have a few hiccups with their card machine and lack of coffee but was not really their fault although they might have been a little more gracious about it. however the food was superb and it has a lovely atmosphere and the loos are really good!

Yeah! Probably, although I think there is an old one somewhere if you look.


Membership for the Lodge is ?80 for a single person or ?120 for two. There is also a corporate membership, the price eludes me for that. It'll be open up to 12 midnight for the first few months and then depending on the demand and the uptake I suppose they'll then push for a later license.


Right back to the Magnolia. I don't normally eat in pubs but the menu does look tempting and I reckon I'll be eating in there soon. A really nice atmosphere and not overcrowded like the rest of Lordship Lane.

      Bitey Fox.

      By Babbit · Posted

      I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By Enable · Posted

      Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
