Is Clapham Junction (Zone 2) not in London?

Anyhow, more bad news for lager drinkers: https://www.theguardian.com/money/20...e_iOSApp_Other

Ok, sorry, tm hangs his username head in shame, I was looking from Clapham and (wrongly) presumed it was the also case from London, because why the hell would services from Victoria run direct, stopping at LGW, Haywards Heath, but NOT at Clapham Junction or East Croydon? Madness!!

The Victoria / Eastbourne train stops at Clapham Junction then East Croydon, (usually standing only on a Saturday), I then have to switch to catch a Brighton bound train from EC, often standing until it thins out a bit at Gatwick.

Council wants pubs in London’s Soho and West End to ban standing

"It goes on to recommend that sales of alcohol and food should be “by waiter or waitress service only”."

Pity Curmudgeon is no longer with us, right up his street. But being in the same camp as Sadiq Khan?

Perhaps Westminster Council knows something we don't: COVID is back!

I don't think it rates a listing as it's only open for a few Thursdays, but here's something different if you are in Southwark:
One of London’s most famous ships is turning into a floating pub

It's going to be open from 5:30pm to 10pm, August 20 and 27 and September 3, 10, and 24. I happen to be in London - based in Rotherhithe - on the middle one of those five dates, so I might have a look.

It's a pity they don't actually take it out onto the river, then they could power up the 'historic' propeller.
