Yeah still there and still open, but I think it was sold some time ago. I'll see if I can find out from some locals who drink there...

Yes, very close to the railway line. Its been discussed here before, not the one Crispy has linked to.
They were removing the roof last night when I went past. Can't see why they're taking such time over it when they could have just knocked it down.

lol, i have no memory of that night either, but it looks like everyone ended up in my living room!I actually have no memory of that night at all, but I can see that I was there, so it must have been a most excellent night.
boohoo
No.
Nice pic. It must have looked good back in the day. Just looks pretty awful now. Really dirty. I think the roof is fucked as well, as they appear to be have been attempting some repairs. You never see anyone coming in/out either, apart from on Sundays. Might try to go inside and have a look - thanks for the suggestion boohoo
If you are wondering around Clapham Old Town, try and have a look in the old church there (I think it's on Rectory Grove). There are some great sculptures from the earlier church in it.

Just catching up with all that 'Off the Cuff' stuff - very strange! Private members eh? Who would pay £100 to be able to drink there on Friday and Saturday nights? I reckon the sort of people who can afford £100 for a membership are the sort of people who don't really go out drinking in pubs/bars. Retail licensing trade relies on a lot casual/walk-up trade….people usually decide where they want to go drinking that day/evening and want to just rock up. Imagine trying to get a load of mates out…."oh yeah, and you have to buy a membership for a ton" - it's worse than the dogstar with their photo ID. A perfect way to keep custom away. I imagine they will be be very quiet on Fridays and Saturdays and will dispense with the membership scheme fairly quickly.

Is it not some way around licensing? There's no where (aside from 127 and Junior's place) to drink late around there any more.

Yep. And I hope their exclusive, hoity-toity little members club fails miserably. All their promo language about keeping their moneyed customers 'safe and secure' suggests they have very little respect for the neighbourhood, or much interest in having them around.

Dulwich Hamlet are playing their last match of the season on Saturday. Win or lose, it's going to be a massive party. Any locals that haven't made it down so far this season should come along. It's a brilliant day out and I don't even like football

Didn't 127 shut down about 10 years ago? Is it really still there? No idea what juniors place is.

Amy Robsart? Known for 'death under mysterious circumstances: broken neck falling downstairs' and being the wife of Elizabeth I's favourite courtier. I wonder why you would end up with a street named after her. Or maybe a different Robsart?
There was a Dudley House on Robsart Street (part of the council esate i grew up on), which seems to be named after her husband Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester.

boohoo
No.
Interestingly, there is a Dudley house nearby - however this is a fairly recent housing block and there is no evidence of the name Dudley in earlier street maps. However, what would be useful is to see how the area was divided up and developed and whether there are themes to the street names.
Haven't been up Robsart street in a while, the new block must be built on the site of the old one, towards Brixton Road end.

Also the Sidney Street / Robsart Street interface always seems a bit confusing - when you walk along there doesn't seem enough of a junction to stop one street & start the other, even though its clear enough on the map.
Did it used to be either Sidney Street or Robsart Street all the way along or was there something diving them?

I was enjoying a scoop early doors outside the Crown and Anchor the other evening and couldnt help
overhearing two well spoken and expensively dressed young fellows who were discussing the area
one was particularly happy about the new blocks going up along Robsart Street and enthusing about
how it would have a nice "villagey" vibe once improvements are completed..........

I always regarded Robsart Street as going all the way to Stockwell Road but it ends at Stockwell Park Road.
My older sister "A" was doing a bit of reminiscing recently she lives in Hornchurch now, and she was shocked when she Googled Denchworth House, the block we grew up in and saw a flat for sale at £400,000.
boohoo
No.
I think they've always both been there. Certainly looks like that on the 1913 map. I would reckon that Sidney road is older? Can't find any connection with the street names.
Just had my polling card for the election of European Parliament thingy delivered.
I think these are our MEP's, i won't be voting for any of them.

Those are the existing ones, presumably there'll be some others to consider voting for this time.

Who am I to say you're wrong
It is a bit like Parliament Street & Whitehall. Just seem to flow into one another.
I can't find out which shower of shite hope to piss on us next. Forgive the mixed metaphor.

Well spoil your ballot to show you're at least engaging with the process but don't find any of the options suitable.
