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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
