Where did you go instead?

Out of curiousity, how many houses/properties does a postcode cover. I thought it was only half a dozen or so

It's my favourite Brixton pub. And not that grimy or smokey really. The ceiling is a gorgeous green, and it's far less smokey than the Albert. It's a shame they've installed the big TV though and you have to be a fan of Queen to drink there - the jukebox plays them every fifth song or so - but it's a fantastic place. A real pub with character.

flabby SW9ers. Lack of walking up Brixton Hill

gaijingirl said:Gosh.. so you say it's in Tulse Hill, Sir Clip says it's in Brixton even though it's SW2 which he considers to be Streatham. I reckon it's Brixton (for me Tulse Hill starts where Upper Tulse Hill meets Tulse Hill)... just goes to show how arbitrary the whole thing is and who cares anyway...
Dick Shepherd - definitely Tulse Hill (according to ex-pupils I know)

yeh, depends on the population density. A tower block will have more shared postcodes than a regular street, i think

do they still do the quiz?editor said:Aye, it's not a bad pub - we used to go there for pub quizzes.
Check out the archive pic:
And here's the photo caption from my blog:
It's pretty amazing that the pub is still going when you think of how many pubs have closed around Brixton. http://www.urban75.org/brixton/bars/lost-pubs.html
(*Blimey, I've noticed that it's not included in the urban75 Brixton pub guide. I'll have to fix that later)

It appears it's even more than that. Turns out nos. 2 to 76 are all SW2 2UB.
Wondered how I could have the same postcode as Elm Park Tavern.
So, there you have it. Elm Park Tavern has the same post code as me and I live in Brixton
Yes. But postal districts like that cover a multitude of sins. For example, NW1 is Camden Town. But it also covers parts of King's X. NW3 is Hampstead, but also covers parts of Belsize Park. N1 is the Angel, but also covers parts of Hackney - the nicer parts, I might add. So, just because something is nominally in Streatham doesn't mean it isn't in eg Brixton.gaijingirl said:

You wasted your money. Just sit there long enough and you'll hear it...
...! It got to the point where the guy behind the bar would press a button to skip onto the next track as soon as Queen came on!!I walked past the EPT at around 5pm at the end of last week. It was packed with what looked like a wake - lots of people in formal clothes, black ties, etc. What song was the jukebox playing? You've guessed it...

It was a wake. According to someone I spoke to, they'd never ever ever seen the place so packed

Hardly getting over it.

There was me thinking that SW16 was Streatham.
And I'm not an "outter townie", just someone who's not quite as demented as you appear to be.
