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.

    • It's not fair to hold Corbyn's brother's views against him when he has never explicitly or implicitly endorsed them. And he has enough of his own terrible positions to criticise anyway.
    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead? Sorry Alice but we'll have to disagree on this one. This does not sound like kids just being silly; lobbing water bombs at each other is one thing, but targeting complete strangers out for a walk and minding their own business and trying to kick their dog is, in my view, no laughing matter. A group of 15 teenagers can be intimidating, not to everyone but for some it can be, especially if their behaviour is aggressive.  
    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money.
