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.

    • It’s a flat fee levy payable by guests staying in hotel and hostel rooms, so added to the bill.  This already happens in Manchester and Liverpool ( I think in Liverpool it’s a percentage, so the more expensive rooms pay more). I read somewhere that Edinburgh is doing this next year? Charges of this kind are becoming common around the world. I think it absolutely makes sense for Southwark and other boroughs are bound to follow.
    • In  parts of Europe you just get charged tax at the end of your stay somewhere. Usually a couple of quid added to your bill. Most tourists are pretty happy to stump up the cost, as it's an expected expense.  I  think it's a good way to make money and remove the burden from locals.  It's for foreigners, Sue - I'm sure Londoners and brits will still be able to freely cross the borough lines without having to go through checkpoint charlie 🙂 
    • It doesn't work like that. There won't be differential pricing for tourists and residents at any attractions, no checkpoints nor a requirement to carry one's papers with one at all times. A levy is put on hotels, maybe on Air B&Bs, on a bed per night basis. That cash goes to Southwark. It's pretty easy to administer.
    • Don't see an issue at all. Sounds like the protest is being made by friends and families of the two off licences, Morleys, pret and maxim chicken who are within 100 m of the school. Much ado about nothing. Besides if it doesn't proceed, the kids will walk a but further!!
