It is having its whole character and inside ripped out and changed to suit the mundane, bland middle class enclave it now finds itself in. Its been rubbish for ages anyway, Antic have been treading water since the pandemic and couldnt afford much upkeep of their pubs whilst pushing prices up. By the time they did finally go bankrupt it was almost as expensive as all the other spectaularly boring and stuck up pubs nearby, and was filled with families looking awkward if a neraby Hooray Henry uttered a swear word. Whoever called it 'iconic' must literally only ever visit the EDT and not have a clue about publuc houses, as there are thousands of pubs across London that would be more deserving of the 'iconic' label 🤣. I expect there be will be focus on food, 'small plates' etc. No more sport- apart from 'rugger' of course! The middle classes will love it, theyll merrily trundle in with a pram and a dog in tow, remark about how different it was to the 'EDT', but then not even flinch when dropping £100+ on a few plates of roast dinner and a round of drinks. The only remotely decent pub left in the area is The Castle. Im actually amazed it is still going in its current guise. They are part of a small pubco and their most recent opening on Kirkdale in Sydenham they tried to go more upmarket, but its always empty. How long before The Castle too is swept away and rebuilt to suit the moneyed middle classes? -

Just subscribed to your Substack and v much enjoying it! Thank you - and you're a Spurs supporter too, like my OH and son, which adds an extra frisson. Was wondering what the food is like at the ED Picturehouse. Would anyone recommend? TIA -
Looking for a kitchen drawer unit with 3 or 4 drawers. Can be any width from 50mm, upwards -
It does seem particularly bad at the moment and there are definitely fewer bins. The problem with those bins - and presumably the reason they keep getting moved / removed - is that the foxes get into them and empty the contents all over the pavement. It's never pleasant to be greeted by poo bags and dirty nappies strewn across your path first thing in the morning. I don't think the type of person who doesn't pick up their dog's poo is going to change or suddenly start using bins, even if the council issued more. Those of us who pick up after our dogs know where all the bins are and just keep hold of the bag until we reach them.
