You'll have guessed two things about this pub: it's near a railway station and it's in Streatham. The station is Streatham Common in fact. It had only London ales on tap on our RGL correspondent's visit, and did an excellent salad.<br /><br />Loads of additions this week too. There's <a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Bruce_Castle_Museum">Bruce Castle Museum</a> (and local history archive) in Tottenham. We now have <a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Cafe_Royal,_NW10_7RE">Cafe Royal</a>, a cafe (!) in Park Royal (!), and on a similarly straightforward naming strategy, <a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Burgers_And_Cocktails,_W1U_1EA">Burgers and Coctkails</a> in Marylebone, which serves... oh I think you can guess; it used to be called Guerilla Burgers and garnered some pretty bad reviews, so I guess they tried rebranding. There's also <a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Toll_Gate,_N8_0PS">The Toll Gate</a>, a very Wetherspoony Wetherspoon's in Turnpike Lane, <a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Lituanica,_E17_7AD">Lituanica</a> grocery store in Walthamstow, <a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Venerdi,_E5_0LH">Venerdi</a> Italian restaurant in Lower Clapton (the old Thang Long House), and <a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Mirch_Masala,_IG3_9UH">Mirch Masala</a>'s Goodmayes branch.<br /><br />There are updates to <a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Anerley_Arms,_SE20_8AG">The Anerley Arms</a>, <a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Yas,_W14_8XJ">Yas</a> Iranian restaurant near Olympia, and <a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Bull_Inn,_BR5_3HS">The Bull Inn</a> in far-flung St Paul's Cray (where? why not look at the article to find out!).<br /><br />Finally, we have been told that <a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Old_Duke_Of_Cambridge,_E3_3PH">The Old Duke of Cambridge</a>, a pub in Bow, may have closed so any further information confirming/denying this would be gratefully received.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=rglondon&ditemid=42067" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
