| The Bedford appears to have closed and the furniture and carpets downstairs have been removed. According to the land registry, the freehold of the building was sold to Langholm Property Co Limited on 26 January 2009. I believe that the freehold was previously owned by Watney Combe Reid & Company Limited. The lease which was owned by Young's was for the term of 25 years from 29 September 1984. It would appear then that the lease has reverted from Young's to Langholm Property. There have been planning applications this year for converting the upper levels of the building into flats which have been refused by Lambeth Planning. There do not appear to be any restrictive covenants in the freehold which would prevent Langholm Property from leasing the property as a pub. Fortunately where one door closes, another opens, with the re-opening of the White Lion, although as before, sadly with no real ale. SimonM - 10 Oct 2009 16:21 |
| I have had some great times in this pub. I think really this place is mostly about music and a good rockin attitude. you get some right characters and the beers not too expensive. OLD SKOOL studas - 20 Sep 2009 06:04 |
| Went a few Saturday's ago when my other half's band were playing there. No real ale on (as has been the case the last 3 times we went to gigs there.) Staff seemed not to have much clue about anything but were pleasant enough. Ladies toilets some of the worst I've been too - how the upstairs reaches health and safety standards is beyond me. Went and sat in the garden to avoid the heat and was overjoyed to witness a group of vomiting under 18s off their faces on jagermeister. A place to avoid unless theres a band on you really cannot miss! iheartcupcakes - 11 Aug 2009 17:57 |
| Largish music-orientated pub on Streatham High Road, approx 10 minutes walk from Streatham Hill station. I gather the music room is upstairs. This is a Youngs pub, which I probably last visited, prior to last week, shortly after they acquired it in 1990. It's a not unattractive looking building from the outside and there's some original features retained - Roman style pillars, woodwork and the bar back - but I'm afraid this pub left a very poor impression on my visit last Sunday afternoon. It was only 4 o clock approx, but the half dozen or so customers in the pub sitting at the bar seemed noticeably the worse for wear and the frequently incoherent raised voce either attempting to shout or sing created a rather depressing, seedy and down market feel. There's a rather scruffy and rundown outside drinking area at the back, which reinforces the notion that this pub needs some serious effort and TLC to bring it up to svratch. It's certainly got the potential, given the main road location, to be much better and busier than this. The Youngs Ordinary - £ 2.70p - was reasonable. I like to think that I write fair minded and well-considered reviews, but there's no escaping the feeling that this is one of the worst pubs I've done in a long time. JohnBonser - 22 May 2009 12:39 |
| Now under NEW management AGAIN... Not sure what happened to the old guy, but possibly illness, hope not for the worst... The new guy on the bar today was a complete muppet... as far as I tested... They still put on gigs, I was just looking to give them some money to use their room upstairs for band practice as it's near my house... The guy couldn't even give me a price, and wasn't interested in selling it at all... Clever! They still have gigs apparently, (do check them out, the venue is not the promoters' fault) but I will be more cautious spending my money in the venue, it has to prove itself again...
