The White Lion, Streatham

Run but deluded self indulgent musos who have no understanding of what a live music license is.

Seem to think , possibly because of their charitable status, that's it's ok to have loud live music than disturbs neighboring flats, blaring out past midnight mid week.

However as the place is usually empty, hopefully they'll won't be around much longer. Harsh? Maybe but despite many polite requests from their annoyed locals, they've yet to realise that Streatham on a tuesday night is not Glastonbury. It's hardly surprising that their clientele is largely made up for hostel guests and friends of whatever band is playing, when they treat the local community with such distain.
