    Christ that Police report is pretty damming. Sounds like the Wild West.

    Looks like a bit of a shithole to be honest.

    unfortunately a lot of towns are turning into shit holes seems to be a lot more drunks and druggies about - for example went Canterbury few weekends back during the day by night time felt like i was back in afghan

    No sign of a problem in Shrewsbury fortunately.
    A lovely place full of pubs, and loads being very pleasant.
    I stayed there for a night when we played Shrewsbury on the Tuesday night. Remember it being a lovely room. The steak I had was spot on.

    But not like the rest of that area?
    Anywhere near Connaught has been rough since we were both youthful.

    Gutted to hear about the Anglesey Arms. Had some cracking nights in there, usually for the England games during World Cup/Euros. Was absolutely rocking each time.

    Is a real shame. Was a great pub, not many of its like left now and I'd imagine the council will force a few more out eventually. There was also no stabbing and its dissappointing that the murky depths and other sites have reported that as fact. I've heard an appeal has gone in but seems like the cards are stacked against.
    Oh well, a nice block of flats it will be...

    Has it gone?  Had my first ever beer in there at 15, a bottle of light ale.

    The Connaught has long gone. Demolished and replaced by luxury flats.

    They have the right to appeal.

    I think you are using the term luxury a little loosely IMO.

    I was in Broadstairs yesterday, this cracker of a boozer is two minutes from the station.
    They even had a train running around the ceiling of the place.  A delight for any self respecting Charlton anorak.

    Underneath the railway line in Bexley village, I swerved The Millers.
    Bexley is very pleasant on a Sunday afternoon.

    Anyone know if the Kings arms Greenwich is permanently closed or is just a refurb?

    For those with a hardier click through disposition, the pictures in the Daily Mail are better...

    Blythe hill tavern in there. Great boozer to watch some horse racing. 

    Red Lion also another fav but only ever good early afternoon otherwise gets rammed.

    A pint of Charlton a reasonable £4.75
    Before being refurbished this was my favourite pub in Beckenham and Bromley.

    Popped in the new sky bar in Eltham High St after the cinema last night. All very nice, done up well and DJ pumping out some decent old skool tunes. Asahi on tap (£6.20). 

    Only downside is looking out onto Sports Direct and Peacocks!

    Having completed the sale of Elfs Mansions on Thursday I am currently residing in New Cross before my move to Brasil.
    Loads of new boozers to explore locally in Brockley, New Cross and Peckham.
    Tonight I'm in Nunhead Green.  Loads of cracking places here.
