Let's face it, it was weird from the outset


I'm suprised it lasted that long

But do they have Fullers Walnut cake?


My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Used to be occasionally taken to Lyons in Streatham in the sixties ..... erm, possibly fifties ......

Probably Fifties..Sue :) There were 2 in Rye Lane. One oposite Primarks one on the right

just before the station (coming from Dulwich)


I was always fasinated by the little heated cubicals with bowls of chips and other food in that were filled

from one side and collected the other side.


And the 'Nippys' were always nice to me when I about 5-6 . Such a sweet child I was. lol.


Foxy.

The Rose is an Enterprise Inns pub. Not sure how the people at the Rye will be running it if that is a Capital pub.

However, due to changes in legislation regarding tied pubs, Enterprise are selling some of their pubs and taking back others and managing them themselves or by proxies. The Signal in Forest Hill,formerly the Hob, an Enterprise pub, is now managed by Hippo Inns.

Brilliant. That would really turn the pub around :)

I would have thought the new owners/tenants would want the pub open for Christmas, New Year, as this is probably the busiest and most profitable time of the year. Eight Weeks, they must be doing a fairly big refurbishment.

Pity, I was hoping it would be open for Christmas, as it is the nearest pub to home.

Sidhue, I agree with you completely with regards to the audio message regarding the "Forest Hill Tavern"

Why anyone who is running a business and getting free advertising from TFL for the pub should change the name does seem to be rather unwise.

The only TFL audio that needs to change is FREE Ern road not FRY Ern.

On the P13 the announcement for Underhill/Belvoir Road is always "Bell-voir" Road not "Beaver" Road (which is how I was taught Belvoir is pronounced - at least that's how you say the place/stately home in Leicestershire).


Seems like a missed opportunity to me.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
