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.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.
