Bet it won't be using the word trendy or, worse, London, in the advertising blurb round the toon!

Aping the trendy bars of London? They are in for a shock in that case.

London murky anyone? Doubtful in the toon. BTW no matter how frozen the North East no coats are needed😀

The broken Drum in Blackfen (near Welling) finally opened on the 17th of April.
In Hove the Watchmakers Arms is due to open on Friday (1st May). This is a handy one as it is only a stone's throw from Hove Station.
In Whyteleafe (just outside Croydon) the Radius Arms is set to open on Monday 4th of May. This was going to be called the Broken Drum as well but the owner decided to change it to avoid confusion. This one is also handy as the bus stop with buses from Croydon or Purley is a couple of doors away.

The new Hove micropub the Watchmakers Arms did not impress a correspondent on the Dark Side.
I would like to make it clear that the person outside was NOT me.

The Micropub Association have finally released an update to their list, the first since March. There are only a few entries all of which are already listed here apart from the one in Kelso.
Notable absentees are the Broken Drum in Blackfen which I was in on Saturday and the Radius Arms at Whyteleafe. I'm pretty sure there are other absentees from outside the London area. I wonder if those not listed are refusing to keep up the annual subscription as they have to pay that to be included on their list.
