| Just saw a pic of the Aussie being boarded up with scaffolding around it. Story in the Beeb saying it's being turned into office spaces and flats. What a bummer. A little sloany pony back in the 80s, but this was pretty much my local back in the day. Some real good piss ups, darts and taking the piss out of the real sloane rangers lot. I am glad I hit in 2001. Joseph65 Baltimore, MD USA Joseph65 - 7 Feb 2008 20:45 |
| Anon - Cheers ! Same age as you are, and had some mates who lived on Cadogan Square, so the Australian was sort of our local. Tons of Slonie Ponies in my age bracket back then, but our lot consisted of piss artists and not the up tight sort. And trust me, their was quite a bit ! Concur with yer thoughts, and it is a real shame that it's boarded up. I even have a picture up on the fridge at home of us sucking down pints, so got a tad of it living stateside with me. Heath - Didn't know ACS was around the corner. I went to London Central in High Wycombe 79-82. We just found out their shutting it down for good in May. Bummer.

| Well, I remember drinking here back in 1971 when I went to school at the American Community School around the corner. It was a great place for lunch, and the barmaids were really nice. The bangers and mash were terrific with a pint of Watney's. Too bad it's closed, always hoped I'd get back to England someday and stop by for old times sake. heathcliff13 - 12 Apr 2007 19:09 |
| Thanks Joseph65 - Dunno how old you are (I'm 41) but I didn't drink here in 84-87. Still, as I said, some decent/indecent memories of this place. it should be revived. What a tragedy for the local residents that all they're left with is the ultra-pretentious Codrington Arms where if you haven't got a trust fund you're about as welcome as a fart in a phone box. anonymous - 28 Mar 2007 16:43 |
| Anon - I believe that is what a publican told my mate in July. A real shame. It was a real jewel many years back, and don't understand why as it was a pub that never attracted any trouble for the 'hood. If yer as old as me, pls let me know as I would love to hunt down some cats I used to hang out with there all the time between 84-87. Cheers. Joseph65 Joseph65 - 13 Nov 2006 16:23 |
