Just cause I'm a parent doesn't mean I like the parent ghetto. Besides the florence and the regent both do shit food. I never liked the White Horse much anyway before I had children. My fondest memory of it was having my friend told by the dj to stop dancing because he was making the records jump even though we were the only people showing some appreciation for his records.
Crown and Anchor pub, Brixton Road, Brixton goes card-only

i bet the chicken dancing was putting off other dancers though
Nope, there was no one dancing when we arrived despite decent music.

I wasn't being entirely serious. I understand the difficulty, having two myself.

I see a notice in the window saying the pub is applying for a license to put tables and chairs on the public highway, as they already have the benches down the side I wonder if this means Brixton Road, or more likely that the pedestrianisation of the approach to Slade Gardens is imminent.........

I heard that the bloke over the road who was previously holding up the pedestrianisation so he could redevelop his garage has now relented, so that could well be what we're seeing. Tables in the road anyway. Actually repaving the road will be a long time coming imo.

I imagine one without the other would mean a lot of spillage, maybe they'll have a ramp so people dont trip over the kerbstone

What Crispy said is correct - the landlord told me that. Pedestrianising the actual road, even though it's only small, is a fairly substantial job and may take a while. Would be nice if it's done before next summer! Either way, it has been great having that gate open to allow through access to Slade Gardens, after it was welded shut for several years.
I guess they have to hope that the people who park their cars in that bit of road (people who live there and use the shops/takeaway) won't object. I'm not sure they would pedestrianise the whole 20-30 yards of road because large lorries till need to get in there to deliver beer to the cellar and stuff to the shops next door. Perhaps they will leave a small stub of road?

The crown and anchor is somewhere I will use out of desperation rather than through choice
teatime today is one such occasion but I am disappointed to find said establishment will no longer accept cash in exchange for drinks, card only, according to sign in door "this the digital age"...

Sure, for them. Saves on the hassle of handling cash. Sucks for anyone with only cash io them

Sadly, it acts as an effective security measure and deterrent against burglaries and break-ins. No float to nick.

Means you don’t need a senior member of staff to cash up, it’s win win for the owners

It will be inconvenient for some, but it does have its advantages. Apart from the security angle, it’s usually faster to pay with contactless and anything that reduces waiting times is a good thing.
The poor will have been far more inconvenienced by more important services than a pub going cashless-the buses, for instance. I’ve always found it outrageous there is no cash option anymore- but that’s perhaps a discussion for the transport forum.

......trying to resonate with contactless tech savvy yuppies, and if you don't like it drink elsewhere.

I’m pretty sure you don’t have to be tech savvy or a yuppie to either understand what contactless is, or have access to such technology, which has been a standard feature of most debit cards for a while. In fact it seems a bit absurd if not bordering on the patronising tbh. And even if a card does not have it the customer can still pay with it of course.

Think you are deliberately missing the point, granted nuff people of all backgrounds will use contactless....but "#thefuture" will resonate deeply with someone who feels the need to read a trendy bars Twitter feed.
