I'd rather lick the floor of the Albert's toilets clean than have a drink in there...
Well, I'm afraid you're going to have to make the choice one way or the other. We can't keep waiting.
WTF! Look what they've done to the Coach & Horses/Living Bar

Good description. It's certainly not the best pub by a mile. If you want that you have to leave Brixton and go to either Stockwell (Priory Arms) or my personal favourite in Streatham (Earl Ferrers).

Well, you'll almost seem normal sized in the kids area.
One day we're going to meet, tarannausaurus, and on that day.... !!!!! on that day you will have some badly bitten ankles. It's more that I have little chance of bumping into the likes of you.

Decent description.. food can be disappointing, staff can be a bit rubbish.
I tend to go to the pub with people I like, so good company is not a problem. My days of spending whole evenings in the pub chatting to all and sundry are over really for the moment (or only occasionally) - on those occasions I wouldn't choose to go there anyway. Like I say, it serves a purpose.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
...and me....and I'm none of the above.
I did get barred though....back in 93/4.
Not sure they remember though.

The Florence is my most loathed pub but since having the baby.. it definitely serves a purpose...At least they've got really good cider...
And a creche!
It's mental that they built this. There's nothing anyone can do about kids in pubs anymore, the UK is breeding!

Tbh it's more that people go out a lot more now. In the seventies when I was growing up my parents very rarely went out at all. Couldn't afford it.
A lot of pubs don't allow kids in the evening though, which is right and proper imo.

It's also because since the banning of smoking in pubs and with many pubs struggling to keep going, they're having to find other ways of making money. Whereas in the past pubs didn't need to appeal to families to make money, many are going this route and/or the gastro-pub route to keep going.
(sadly it's not actually a creche - that would be toooo good - but a playroom.. - parents still ultimately have to look after their own kids.)

I agree that kids should have to leave in the evening.

I am hoping this means the Prince Regent is relatively child-free at lunchtimes now.

'fraid not - that's why they have a child-free zone upstairs.
I know how much you hate it but unfortunately for those who don't have kids/have a problem with kids HH (in particular) is just awash with them these days.

I have found the Regent much more mixed recently actually. The Lido has taken a lot of the strain!

I think they had a soft launch, but I'm not sure if they're fully open yet.
