The Trafalgar, Colliers Wood (but closer to South Wimbledon tube). Absolutely beautiful.

I don’t know about art but I do know a lacerating review about art when I see one. Don’t hold back Eddy. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Bike graveyard near Enterprise on the Old Kent Road.

Just been to the B&M store on the Old Kent Rd. Secured both flavours of Yop and then watched a Northern Irish bloke absolutely kick-off, calling everyone under the sun a fucking wanker. Bound to be the highlight of the day.

Ha. I love the place and that sounds kind of similar to my experience of it. Long may it continue.

Did you ever see the video of a bloke on a mobility scooter going ape shit and smashing down the front door of KKs?

The Marquis of Granby, New Cross. Never entirely sure what to make of this pub other than I love it and will always pop in when I’m in the area.

The Shirkers? It’s the home pub of the @deserterblog.bsky.social podcast. A wonderful little pub in New Cross. It’s a Harvey’s Sussex Best, slipping down smooth.

He had a ‘jaunty’ fedora on.

It was some Iron Man/Triathlon team event when I left. Before? Dune buggy racing. Just turn it off. Although that would have left only the music to deal with which was Italian pop. Not my bag to it mildly.

Dead community pub near Fordham Park.

Mickey Onions @mickeyonions.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah. Interestingly he was an Italian fella named Paris.

Visited The Wolf’s Tavern, Evelyn Street, formerly The Black Horse about 10mins from The Dog. Southern Italian flavoured pub with a wonderful smell from the pizza own wafting through the place. Excitingly TNT Sports 4 is on the telly showing sport no one cares about.

Hadn’t noticed this floral touch before.

A combo of an angry as fuck Jaws 2 performance Roy Scheider and Sandra Bullock could liven this up.

Mickey Onions @mickeyonions.bsky.social · 3d

My mouth was watering after reading Will’s piece and the wheel of fortune means I have time today to pop in on a lovely quiet afternoon to really appreciate the pub in all its glory.

Began watching this because it’s a Paul Greengrass film and he can handle a story. Starts off strongly in his typical style i.e. frenetic and stressful but then it becomes Bizarro Speed where the bus has to painfully manoeuvre at no more than 20mph while kids scream a lot.

Spent the day immersed in British crime from Brink’s-Mat in the 80s to the Murder Mile of the late 90s/2000s. Ellroy with a whiff of cockles and jerk.

Terrific piece here about the Dog & Bell, Deptford. One of London’s finest boozers.

I’ve written for @pelliclemag.com about the Dog and Bell, a unique pub whose evolution over the past 40 years nevertheless illustrates the story of modern London pubs. It’s here: www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/9/...

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out — The Dog and Bell in Deptford, London — Pellicle

On a Friday night in early December, Deptford’s Dog and Bell is Christmas as imagined by a Haribo-addled toddler.  A huge resin Santa, grinning merrily in his sleigh, squats in Prince Street out...
