Need to find a classic south london 'boozer', any ideas?


Recommended Posts

Help...


Ok, i need the combined experience and discerning tastes of the whole East Dulwich forum team to help me out with this one;


Can somebody help me find a traditional south london pub?


Doesn't have to be Dulwich based, (which could be rather tricky these days!)


No re-furbed gastro pubs allowed.


Must be as i described. Needs 'character', old style architecture, good range of beverages, and, well that boozer 'x-factor' that seems to be disappearing.


The place i'm after doesn't have to be chocolate box pretty, or tourist friendly, it could even be described as 'manky' in the right light.


It just needs to be real.


(Oh, and i'll happily say why i'm after such a place if i get enough help with this!)


Looking forward to your suggestions.

That's pretty helpful, thanks for your thoughts...

Remember the resident weekend Group thru' the 1970's/Early 1980's at The Beckett?


Blunderbuss or Laurie and Co, Pcg?

So why're you after such a place, PB?

My god red devil, I was invited to a 30th birthday party there 3 years ago . I went along thinking 'give people a chance' What a Chav Hole! Most uncomfortable. As soon as i walked in the women tried to 'stare me out' ready for a fight . Have to add , i sacked the 'friend' after that

It's definitely 'a rites of passage' type establishment Daizie, the last time I went there was the night of the Soho nail bomb, I was with some workmates on a stag do at Wimbledon dogs, afterwards we planned to go up to Soho, but because of the bomb we decided not to, and I suggested the Queen Anne as an alternative, I'm still having therapy for the 'mother and daughter' act I witnessed that night...

    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
