Baldy - Do you know what the plan is for the Anchor? Staying in the family hopefully?Baldybonce said:The Trafalgar Tavern in Greenwich has got to remove all the outside seating on instructions of the council.Work has started at the Anchor.
Unlikely to stay in the family as from what i've been told a lot of money was owed to the brewery.0 -
I was wondering if someone like Youngs might buy it given they like a river pub.But I’m pleased something is happening with it.0

There is no chance of any of the City pubs shutting down if this weather keeps up. I've been past the Grapes three times today... every time its heaving. Who still has a job in the City that can go out and quaff pints for 3 hours at a time? Everyone says that that behaviour is in the past in the City these days... it isn't around here!

Planning application action for The Whody has been withdrawn and pub won’t now be “partially demolished”. At least for the time being. Not surprised they’d had no interest at the £1.2m price tag.
Does also say that the developer claimed the pub wasn’t economically viable. I struggle to believe that knowing that @clive drinks there!! 😉

Economically viable is a very spurious term, which means yeah its sustains itself and turns a small profit but we can make more money doing something else.TelMc32 said:Planning application action for The Whody has been withdrawn and pub won’t now be “partially demolished”.

It's a great shame they opened the deli and then it failed. It was very popular and badly missed by many of the regulars. Luckily The Star is shining so we still have a decent boozer to drink in.1 -
Odd story to run now. It’s all been done and the “beauty salon” has been open for at least a couple of months. The deli is still shut though.clive said:0 -

I don't get the complaints about The Trafalgar. People have told to the council that it's stopping access... To what? That path along the Thames leading to the Cutty Sark is about two foot wide. The Trafalgar section is one of the widest parts!2

It was very nice to see @Rock Spectacle in his home top outside the Rusty Bucket in Eltham last night, getting a hug from a random man who was also in a Charlton top (this chap drank half a pint then cleared off on his bike)3

Can't say I've ever been in a Brewdog pub/bar or ever drunk any of their beers - always seemed a bit faddy and gimmicky to me.
Problem with that is that's it's fine while it lasts, but when people move on to the next fad or fall for the next gimmick, then where does that leave you? Shutting pubs is where.1 -
I don't think it's helped that the CEO has become much more prominent on social media recently and everyone is seeing what a helmet of a bloke he is.6

Had to giggle at the new food stall outside the Red Lion on Shooters Hill.

New moon is printing money and Feeneys, which I know a few posters on here patronise, have three locations now and serve the best guiness in London IMO.BoPeepAddick said:
