From an aesthetics point of view, I like the way you have counterbalanced the windscreen surround in the bottom right with a finger in the top left. It frames the pub nicely.Off_it said:

"The new little angry female workers cause problems left right and centre, ruined the place & atmosphere here. Never had any problems with the old owners for many years but since the new owners one wide little angry woman in particular loves marching around the place pointing in peoples faces hurling straight insults at the people who have been spending money at the Charlton inn for years. Also beware of a giant intimidating man lady who lurks around ready to go lady man on anyone having a bit of fun. GO TO THE VIC! You don’t want to experience these angry little munchkins first hand"
though there are a couple more recent reviews saying how good the karaoke is...8 -
Two suspicious (simultaneous) pub fires just down the road from the White Horse near Selhurst-

Demographics are going to see pubs either dramatically change even more than what they have. Ive been using my local snooker and pool club a fair bit recently in Chatham and whilst they aren't and never have been a haven for an amazing and interesting pint the bloke I know who has been running it the last few years told me earlier hardly any of the youngsters who come in drink alcohol but tear through the energy drinks and he has bought an espresso machine to satisfy that particular need too. For what its worth the place was packed tonight, no league games or tournament games going on both snooker tables were full every single pool table of which I think there are 12 was in constant use and all three dart boards. When I started going in there as a kid it was a dingy place that would have hardly anyone in there, nowadays it has a really strong membership an atmosphere that isn't even close to what it used to be but still authentic if that makes sense.
And crucially, although its had a lick of paint and some furnishings changed and moved it still smells like the old snooker club and its a delight, that old pub smell. Not all places like this have survived and I think because of pubs getting rid of their pool tables or not looking after them, letting people put drinks on them or sit on them these places have an opportunity to flourish6 -

We're currently doing an air bnb in Brazil.
It turns out we're two minutes from a favela, but two minutes from okay.
This bar I'm aware you have to be aware, but 'my people'.
Very cheap

That's the bucket out the front on the left.3 -
biggest issue with pubs is people expect everything
sports
decent food
bottomless brunches
a ridic selection of drinks
recently have frequented the prince albert in bexleyheath as my md when down weekly stays down at the marriot so makes sense as opposite.

£5 a pint 12 months ago was okay, nowadays £6 is acceptable.

That’s terrible news. Hardy’s is one of our pre-match venues and, following the closure of the adjoining restaurant, they’re happy for you to bring food in. There’s an excellent Japanese fusion restaurant two doors down, which is incredibly good value - as is the pub.InspectorSands said:Heard some rumours that this could be the end for Hardy's in east Greenwich, although the developer plans to keep a pub there...

Paid £4.80 for a pint of Tribute in the Bricklayers Arms, Beckenham yesterday, and very nice it was too.
Can't remember the last time I bought a pint for under a fiver.0 -

I imagine The George will be nearer £6 nowadays. Always liked that boozer and would often pop in on the way home from The Valley.
