Loz Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 The place where I worked once had a South African temp in, who was rather new to London. I asked her where she was living, she replied, "Low-bro Junction". Took quite a while for the penny to drop for me.

numbers Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 "These are all very well, but what?s it like for messing about in and getting wankered?"Brilliant read, as ever. It had me pining for a misspent youth* in Streatham Hill, Brixton Hill, LJ with lock-ins in pubs run by lovely irishmen, dodgy cab offices, fleapit cinemas where you could watch afternoon matinees with your flatmate (crucially you'd be the only ones there, skiving from work), whilst sipping cheap bulgarian red (2 bottles for a fiver) in trashy brushed gold wine goblets. Oh those heady days...* 20-cough-something.

Seabag Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Great write up on the place. I remember Mrs S and myself spending a fair amount of time 'energetic dancing/elevating our minds' down there in 1998-2000. Basement Jacks used to run a night, the fliers were photocopied in black & white and it was ?2 to get inThe pub is now a Tesco (or simular) but I still remember watching a few of the locals drinking Guinness at the bar, by 2 am they'd be thoroughly sauced. They'd be sat there trying to make sense of the place as it went mental to some of the best house music i'd ever been privvy tooThe bogs were often overflowing, with bottles and loo roll stuffed in them, not something i've seen sinceIt was pretty sketchy down that way, in an unloved and grimy way. But fond memories Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/55801-i-didnt-get-shot-in-loughborough-junction/#findComment-834152 Share on other sites More sharing options...
malumbu Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Sadly all the pubs have gone in Logiebrogie JunctionOne Youngs place was Evening Standard pub of the year, long since coverted to flatsThere used to be loads with the Mambo Inn of course a fave.The bars on the offie always got me.Never had any hassle there and get my car serviced under the arches.I used to go to the Cambria when I lived a street away (I'd call this Ruskin Park to be posh). A great back street boozer but now all chrome,glass and craft ale so will be perfect for you lot.
