You were born in Kensington, grew up in Oxford, went to a prep school and then went Brasenose College, Oxford. The fact you think you can even pass views on this country and it’s demographics is beyond me. Come live in Hounslow for a year.

The Astral Cafe Regency St, Westminster. The cabbie’s cafe. Can’t go wrong here or at the Regency over the road, which is often full of tourists. Decent Italian fayre in either. Got a Set 4 for £7.80 and feels like I’m in Isleworth - not SW1P!

The New Inn in Brentford are doing £4 Guinnesses and free Irish stew all day for anyone who needs to hear it. Irish dancing and music later.

Sad to hear this, a real London character. Fondly remember this clip of him describing Bermondsey as the last stronghold of the cockney in London in 2012 - which is even more true now than it was then.

A couple of photos emerged at the weekend showing Brentford High Street in the 1960s before they demolished the Georgian/Victorian buildings and replaced them with what we have now. Town planners have so much to answer for.

Liverpool is easily one of the best cities I’ve ever been to. Every pub filled to the rafters with happy people spending fuck all on drinks. Nice to have some proper local cab drivers for a change too

There was a bloke doing this around Brentford pubs as recently as five years ago.
Who remembers the seafood seller visiting the pub?“Cockles, mussels, prawns.” Someone always shouted, “have you got crabs?”😆🍻

My great grandad grew up there. Whole family of 8 rented it, all the children worked for WH Smith’s selling papers at Waterloo, except for the women in the family who worked at the Hartley’s Jam factory in Bermondsey. They wouldn’t comprehend how much it is now!

I do this once a year when I’m in the area because it never ceases to annoy me but here’s the Windmill Hounslow today vs 2012. Got taken here as a toddler. I can’t name a single thing that’s got better in Hounslow since I grew up

Ian Nairn describing Brentford in 1966. ‘Water bubbles down spillways, sheds hold all manner of materials, wide boats bob up and down, a railway shed the size of a terminus opens on the canal. It is as diverse yet as harmonious as the dawn chorus of birds in a London square.’

The gentrification of Brentford in two pictures. The Royal Oak in 2008 vs ‘The Brook’ in 2023. No joke you can buy a pint in the Brook for a tenner (it’s about 10% abv to be fair). Was about £2.60 a pint in the Royal Oak back in 2008.

Paris lacks the winding and uncoordinated medieval street patterns we still see across London, which is a shame. It’s 19th century uniformity is a strength and a drawback I think, the French have resolutely protected old buildings and townscapes but they’re a bit frozen in time.

Under this paint job are these tiles. If the currently closed O’Riordans or ‘the Royal Tar’ is knocked down it’ll be a massive shame. Last photo in better days in 2010

I’m fond of the mid 13th century song ‘Sumer is incumen in’, composed at the height of the medieval warm period and before the Black Death. A strange optimism comes through it

Whoever is doing fan liaison at Brentford needs to get fired. In a few meaningless actions they’ve eliminated years of trust and good will and disillusioned a massive long-standing section of its fan base.

I’ll bite. This is Forest Gate, E7 in north Newham. The most obvious metric is pubs - there are two pubs left in Forest Gate when there were once 17. This has coincided with the demographic shift in Newham over the last 30 years:

This was the Hand & Marigold, just a short walk from Tower Bridge road near Manzes Pie and Mash and the local for Bermondsey Antiques Market. Only shut down in 2020. Sad because it was a good combination of old and new - won’t see its like again!

can you have a word with Ballymore about their treatment of Brentford Dock cobblestones. Not much of the working dock left to look at but I would have thought it’s worth preserving. Aren’t they listed?

The Rifleman in Twickenham is not recognised across town but in any other part of London it would have rave reviews and be in Time Out. Old school pub full of characters and coloured by the 1960s hippies from the legacy of Eel Pie who play music weekly.

A. Cookes - a Shepherds Bush landmark growing up and the most local pie and mash shop to me in West London. Made famous in Quadrophenia. Only shut due to property speculation in 2015 and now a barbers…

Really like it. Shows you can weave in walkways at different levels across busy roads without building underpasses. Walkway above the street level gives it a theatre-esque feel.

Sad to hear this. I recommend people visit it before it closes in March 2025. Goddard’s shut across the road in 2018 after 128 years. Reckon that takes the Inner London total down to under a dozen now. Fair number in Greater London still, thankfully.
Manze’s Deptford Pie and Mash shop announces 2025 closure after 110 years of Cockney cooking very sad news indeed

Everything about tottenham's stadium tonight was rubbish. Fuck the result, it was like getting into Fort knox on entry, full of power crazed stewards, place is like Slough Tescos or a cinema, and expensive beer served by people who serve pints a 1/3 empty.

When he was living in Twickenham he single handedly took his motor yacht to Dunkirk in 1940 and rescued 127 men from the beaches. Memorialised in a plaque. What a life and what a gentleman.
Charles Lightoller was Titanic’s second officer. At the time, he lived on Station Road in Netley.
He survived Titanic and was twice decorated for gallantry (Royal Navy) in WW1.
In 1940, he rescued 120-130 men from Dunkirk in his yacht. Sadly, two of his sons were killed in WW2.

If only they’d both survived beyond the 2010s. Would be raking it in now. Used to be a jellied eel stall outside the Wagon and Horses. Met ant and dec in there randomly watching the FA Cup in 2003.

What is the appeal in that? Pay all that money to have a mediocre experience once a year, and probably considered a tourist by your own fanbase. Meanwhile, no other club's supporters will respect you because you opted for the big time over your local team.

If you're interested in town planning, I'd recommend watching 'The secret history of our streets' and the episode on Deptford. They do an entire section on the road in your post. It's quite dispiriting when you come to grips with how much was lost.

A classic Deptford pub that hipsterised itself selling fancy pizzas and unsurprisingly lost all its local custom. I'd have the John Evelyn or Deptford Arms back over this place any day. BBC did a piece on the John Evelyn in 2007 when the area still had a vestige of its old self
