TS 18th March 2008 09:33

I'm in... Anywhere's fine with me as long as bike parking is good... :)

chris crash 18th March 2008 09:34

by south you mean along the victoria embankment right? i wont go on the wrong side of the the river

TS 18th March 2008 09:57

I hate north of the river... Let's blow up the bridges and be done with it! ;)

hippy 18th March 2008 10:02

Keep it.. :P

Reminds me of the New Springfield vs. Old Springfield episode of Simpsons. :)

snowy_again 18th March 2008 10:19

Too many choices! If its going to be a potential summer drinking venue, what about pubs with outdoor space?

Borough? - that pub with the massive courtyard?
Vauxhall? - there's that pub in the hell hole that is St George's Wharf, but it looks out onto the river
Peckham? - the bar in the railway arches?

or a can of super lager in burgess park?

that works in our favor.

TheBrick(Tommy) 18th March 2008 11:12

I vote Peckham. Easy for south London and south east London peeps.

TS 18th March 2008 11:14

The Rose and Crown behind Southwark tube's got a big garden, the landlord's a total pillock but it's a nice spot for a tipple... Barely south tho', so you may attract the wrong north crowd...

Pistanator 18th March 2008 11:14

I'm South but will be in NYC over Easter. :-)

Well up for Southside drinks but I'd rather put razor blades in my mouth than be seen in Clapham. Plenty of other places surely*.....

*"There are other places but please don't call me Shirley!" ;-)

aidan 18th March 2008 11:27

what pub in peckham were you thinking about tommy?

TheBrick(Tommy) 18th March 2008 11:49

Don't know, don't know Peckham just did not want to end up in Clappon Common as it is so far away, getting on for west.

Nice new name.

aidan 18th March 2008 11:51

thanks...i dont think being a member of londonfgss is enough anymore...
there is no pubs in peckham...just crack dens.

RPM 18th March 2008 11:54

peckham?

are you insane, that's south EAST.

I'm in for southern drinks, proper southern, south central mo-fos

I doubt I'll be bothered to trolley all the way to del n' rodney's just for a beer.

Brixton has nicer places

Pistanator 18th March 2008 11:54

Actually the only decent boozer in Clapham is The Landor. Technically Clapham North/Brixton....

Agreed -
White Horse
The Effra
Hope & Anchor
Hand In Hand
The Prince Albert

nimhbus 18th March 2008 12:02

it'll never work

people who live in south london are too tight-fisted to buy rounds

snowy_again 18th March 2008 12:04

The Trinity Arms in Brixton then? - got outside seats, enough railings to support a war effort and a little park thing in the middle. And it sells bitter. That said, Clever Square's got the same but its more expensive.

Peckham's got that studoid-ish bar under the arches off Rye Lane, its got a yard - SLondon polo drinks ended up there once.

I don't go to clapham.

RPM 18th March 2008 12:05

as the summer progresses, I plan to be at the BMX track atr least one evening a week in good weather, so any pubs round there are ideal, though I'll be on a man's bike rather than my hip-hop slave fixie bike

Leave off, you're getting us mixed up with Sydney or Glasgow

The Effra's bike friendly, isn't it?

Not sure, probably. No railings though but one or two lamposts

I was gonna suggest that, mini urban keirin round the sqaure too! Only one murder there in the last year, that's gotta be a plus point... Only downside is it's a bit 'Young's' if you know what I mean? Offensive decor too...

Bike stand out the front, bikes have gone missing from there before tho'...
Carlton'll sometimes let you take a bike in the beer garden, not if it's busy tho'...
Prince Regent nr. Herne Hill? Bit gastro but loads of space for bikes... I know Snowy's a regular...

Walled (splatbucket) 18th March 2008 12:49

i'm in if you find somewhere nice

snowy_again 18th March 2008 12:50

Don't make it the Regent, its so close to me there's no point in riding to it! And in my defence, I was a regular there before its gastrotwunt makeover, when you could dump your bike in the pub, and Alex would let you ride his kids bikes around the rooms upstairs. That and the lax application of the law. The current German bar girl is very keen to do a HH track induction though. Once its the summer we could do a rotating venue - its only five minutes between four of the pubs listed up there ^^^

TS 18th March 2008 12:58

No offence intended, Chris! ;)
I may pop in there for a cheeky one on the way home actually...

Pistanator 18th March 2008 13:01

The Regent used to be my local till they wanked it up! Such a shame, had some good times in there. The Commercial in Herne Hill is OK

cornelius blackfoot 18th March 2008 13:10

trying to get you lot to decide on anything, is like wrestling a pig in shit. Rather than pissing and whining about where we should hold the drinks why don't we just hold the drinks and then we can figure out a rotating venue for our ongoing enjoyment. ;-P
Westie drinks work because a venue was chosen a date was set and people went and drank there. It has now become tradition and a fixture in the lfgss drinking calendar. I repeat it is more important to get drinking, and get the ball rolling, than waffle on about where we should drink.
Clapham was put forward as a venue as previously posted in the spotted thread, I'll go where the majority decide, but lets just decide on somewhere. ;-)

TS 18th March 2008 13:16

Trinity in Brixton then? Lotsa railings for parking, we can sit outside and keep an eye on tings...

justMouse 18th March 2008 13:33

+1 for Trinity. Effra's good too - both off the main strip but I think bike parking would be easier at the Trinity.

I used to live on Kellett Rd, about 5 doors down from the Effra. Loved going there.

EM 18th March 2008 13:38

i am in -

how about wednesday or monday's ???? i say the falcon or the sun pub in clapham.

jonny 18th March 2008 13:41

monday, POW in clapham.

but then having said that i move back east in a couple of weeks. not that i would ever let distance get between me and a nice pint.

cornelius - i agree with your comment. you should go ahead and call it.

clefty 18th March 2008 13:46

I'm in too with a vote for the falcon/sun and Monday (Tuesday is trixie day and Wed is SE Polo)

Sorry, two of the worst pubs in Clapham. In fact London

Sorry to sound a retard, but where's The Trinity?

good god your a hard man to make happy.

Pistanator 18th March 2008 13:50

Sorry, just me being a twat, no offence intended. Just not my idea of a good pub that's all, ignore me...

TheBrick(Tommy) 18th March 2008 13:51

No to Clapham yes to Brixton.

Pistanator 18th March 2008 13:51

+1 Tommy

EM 18th March 2008 13:52

yes to brixton yes to clapham - no offence taken pistanator..

justMouse 18th March 2008 13:53

The Trinity is on Trinity Square / or Gardens - if you draw a triangle between Tescos, the town hall and Woolworths it's on the hypoteneuse.

POW is a better pub in Clapham, but it's still in Clapham.

RPM 18th March 2008 13:54

clapham is two minutes from brixton..
personally I don't mind which.


the sun is over the road from jonny's prince of wales, in the olde town.
the trinity is kinda over the back towards brixton hill, never been inside only outside sometimes after riding at the track



Monday nights, yes?

clefty 18th March 2008 13:57

yep either brixton/clapham is cool Monday nights cool.

willski 18th March 2008 13:58

Brixton is good. Monday is good.

Are we on for a Bank Holiday special on 24th, or aim for a BAU on 31st?

jonny 18th March 2008 13:59

yeah, brixton and clapham are one short road about so not worth splitting hairs.

monday nights are looking favourite.

cornelius, you know what to do. change title to set date/time/pub and we are off. probs not next monday since hopefully everyone will be too trashed from the birthday party

TheBrick(Tommy) 18th March 2008 13:59

I only say no to Clapham because although it is close to Brixton it is still another two min in the wrong direction for me. I'd say the mass of people is south central or south east not man south west like Clapham and further west.

yes to mondays

jonny 18th March 2008 14:00

i see what you're saying tommy, don't want to waste two minutes of potential supping time ;)

RPM 18th March 2008 14:03

where are you flying from tommy?
