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


Recommended Posts

Thanks all, some good suggestions in there.

Although i may body swerve the queen anne red devil! Ta for opening my eyes to 'dodgy boozers' though, great site.


(HonaloochieB, i've been tasked with trying to find a south london pub for a date, and a first date at that!)

He he, The Queen Anne Vauxhall. What a pub.

I used to work across the road in the tall BT building called Camelford House(next to MI6), whence all the BT engineery type blokes (avec beer gut) disgorged into the Queen Anne of a lunchtime to gawp at the strippers. I think male BT employees provided them with the majority of their custom in those days.


I didn't realise it was largely unchanged from those days (late 80s).

You know you are in a real boozer when


(a) you touch the top of any table or run of wood, and

(b) you have to pull away your hand/fingers owing to generalised stickiness.


Because real boozers never clean with soap and water, only with beer. B)

Typical.


Does it finish the portrait of a perfect bog pub with the complimentary pack of starved, rampaging Lurchers, sectarian art adorning the outside with heavily re-inforced iron grills on the windows.


Just thought I'd ask.

Fraid not. It's right opposite Goldsmiths so it's mostly full of art student counting their pennies. It's a great place, three tellys for the footy, if there's no footy they have the racing on. Pool table and very friendly staff and drinkers.

Good isn't it! Do you think it will catch on? As it falls just outside Denmark Hill Village or Bellenden Village, I thought it deserved it's very own village status. Start a facebook group, get a few estate agents on board, forget that it's next to the estate, and bob's your uncle. Think of the house prices.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
