Brixton pubs reopening as the coronavirus crisis eases?

[editor]

Seeing as the government is pushing to reopen boozers on June 22nd, I was wondering which Brixton pubs could safely reopen (if so inclined).

I can only think of a few pubs that have gardens big enough to safely accommodate social distancing, but maybe there's others:

The Duke of Edinburgh has a huge garden, and Hootananny has a large outdoor space too. Other spaces that might work could be the Trinity Arms and the Windmill, the Sun and Doves on Coldharbour Lane, and heading towards Clapham, the Hope and Anchor also has a sizeable garden.

Up in Tulse Hill, the Railway has an immense garden which should make it a safe place to drink.

Sadly, as much as we’d love to see pubs like the Albert, Beehive, Effra Hall Tavern and The Junction reopen, we can’t think how they could adequately provide social distancing and remain economically viable, but perhaps they have cunning strategies that may be employed.

Will some pubs and restaurants in Brixton be reopening on Monday, June 22nd 2020?

The FT is reporting that government ministers are looking at June 22nd as the date for reopening pubs and restaurants in England serving customers outdoors. UPDATE 9th June 2020: Update: Brixton’s …

They're certainly ready for reopening.

I don't know how you make toilets clean and non-infectious but people seem to be worried about them?

Not really a garden but the Crown & Sceptre has a large outside space that could work.

They'd probably have to employ a bouncer permanently to ensure too many people do not gather in the garden. Still, i suppose its better than being completely closed.

We still have hundreds of deaths per day.

The phrase “as the coronavirus crisis eases” at this point is a bit weird.
