The Duke of Edinburgh, Brixton

an awful pub absolutely ruined by the new management, "the dukes" used to be a great pub with some real local characters, most of whom have now sadly been driven out by the new landlord who arrogance is unbelievable!
the late nights, unbelievably happy atmosphere, and regulars dancing around the "dukebox" are gone, and have been replaced by a drab decor, overpriced food, and club casualties that the landlord has accosted outside the dogstar in coldharbour lane, and bribed into comming back to the pub in a sorry attempt to boost profits.
turning a traditional backstreet boozer into a souless gastropub was a terrible idea, this pub has been ruined
