Pubs, and the demise of.

Can anyone local let me know what is now in the building that was the ‘Three Tuns’ in Blackheath? (Hoping it’s still a pub). I haven’t been to Blackheath for sometime.
It was one of my Grandad’s locals, had my first pint in their as a kid (I won’t say how old) and I’d like to visit some of them during this season as myself and my Son will try somewhere new every game.0 -
It is now the O’Neills0

Thank you, although that’s disappointing.
My Grandad used to bottle up in that pub.

It’s been O’Neills for a long long time, more than 25 years.2

That would be right, he moved from Coldbath Lane to Kinveachy Gardens, this was when I was a kid, I’m in my fifties nowCovered End said:It’s been O’Neills for a long long time, more than 25 years.
His ashes have been in the Memorial Garden at The Valley since 2005.
I’ve worked out all the other pubs he visited with his mates now, so I’ll visit them all this coming season.
I left South East London a very long time ago, so I wouldn’t know what pubs have closed/switched unless I physically visited.
Thanks all.3 -

Used to love The Pots and Pans, it was very atmospheric, when those went it wasn’t the same.Radostanradical said:The Albert in Bexleyheath just gave notice
I saw Shepherd Neame were just looking for a new landlord, so hope it continues as a pub.

Current landlord’s a Charlton fan I believe.EastTerrace said:

Good that they’ve rejected this one.clive said:Hadn’t realised though that the council had given themselves permission to now demolish The Bull Tavern. They kicked the owners out over two years ago with a CPO to make it the “concierge office” for all the new apartments they were putting up behind the new leisure centre. Easier to grant permission when you’ve got a vested interest I suppose 🤷🏻♂️3 -
A fifth application to turn the Whody in homes/flats.

@guinnessaddick & I played for them, but it was a few years later in the L&K Border.bolloxbolder said:

I got a punch to the back of my head in there! I remember the date as it was 96 and the Brentford cup game got called off so we all went to the pub.. all day! I think that’s right?I was coming out the loo and some bloke who was completely cross eyed walloped me.. he thought I was a bloke and screwing him out apparently.
nice pub. Hah! I’m sure I’ve mentioned this several times.1 -

(Given Simpson’s shut and Jean retired.)When I joined a n 2019, there were only 3 original members left, minimum age 85. But two of them were Charlton fans!1 -
Spent a few very nice afternoons in there. Great little place, although it’s not what I’d call a pub…I guess the definition is evolving.clive said:1 -
I've never been in there as its always crowded out with no where to sit. And to be honest I've always found these real ale places a bit hit and miss. Unless you know the beer it's a game of chance whether its a good one, one you like or one you nurse to the bottom.TelMc32 said:
