Great pub and John is a top bloke. I know he was looking to sell and move on but haven't been for a while. I know he reads Charlton Life so maybe he'll pop by soon.
Spent the first 14 years of my life living opposite The Vic (648 Woolwich Road). Our house was knocked down to build a basketball court for the drug dealers to serve up in.
Here in Belfast the graffiti on the walls says 'Heroin dealers will be shot'. Which sounds fair to me.

It's not all doom and gloom on the pub front. Five Micropubs have opened in and around SE London in the last couple of years; The Door Hinge, One Inn The Wood, The Penny Farthing, The Long Pond and most recently The Broken Drum. They are doing well and there or more of these to come in Sidcup, Beckenham. Bexleyheath and Bexley Village according to grapevine.

Micropubs are for Dulwich Hamlet types.
Yeah Welling and Crayford are full of Dulwich Hamlet types!

The thing is, I like a pub that resembles a pub, rather than a front room with a desk at the front. No insult meant.

Remembering the newsagents that sat amongst those houses. Bacon rolls and papers.

Well I can't speak for all,but I'll think you'll find that The Long Pond more than resembles a pub, a traditional one.

I was told that The Victoria was on fire the other night...did it finally fall over?

As my brother in law @bigmac says regarding micro brewerys "I don't like drinking beer with the thought in my head that it was brewed in a bath tub round the back"

That is a really sad list. Particularly upsetting (for me) is the Mitre, even if it was Greene King. Such a lovely old building and handy for the ferry. Now it's just another church. Jeezus how many more churches are needed, there are three around that one roundabout now? Don't blink or they'll be turning the ferry terminal into a church.

Perhaps you can be safe in the knowledge being able to pray for a Charlton win.

As of November last year, 14 churches were opened around the Powis Street area within a year. As regards pubs, all my old watering holes have now succumbed to churches, flats, bookies etc
