Definitely not the 70s. They had the Mag before they got their hands on the Cherry Tree, so early to mid 90s I should think.

Hi Jah Lush..


Back in the 70's 1974 ish I was the only one with a car and used to ferry all my mates from pub to pub.


The Old Kings Head Blackfriars Rd. / The Hole in the Wall Borough high St. / The Magdala / Two Brewers Clapham..


In those days it was acceptable to 3 pints and still be under the (then) limit.


A few dives there I must add.. Two Brewers was a fine music venue with Steve Waller playing... Sunday Nights.

And will it still be called the Cherry Tree ?


By the way. What is the best pub review site these days

(beerintheevening seems to be dying).

The Vale (they won't choose that ??)


It has so much potential.

Foxy.

Wasn't it The New Hamlet Inn in the 90s?


I think it has bags of potential if done right. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I think it has got to show sports. They'd get loads of footfall on Saturdays after Dulwich Hamlet matches.


I know not everyone wants sport, but to be honest there are WAY more places that don't show it than do these days, so it's not like they have nowhere to go (which may have been the case 10 years ago).

I'd be surprised if the swanky new Bishop bar and kitchen continues to show sports.

Oddly enough The Cherry Tree was one of the few pubs that would show Millwall games.

Not that Millwall have many games on TV.


The EDT with 3 screens are not allowed through company policy to screen Millwall games.


The Castle also Screens Millwall games.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
