The George, Beckenham

Wow - clean and new Gent`s toilets after a 20 year wait....The brewery have spent �5000 on them after taking in �5m. How generous.

Elmer Lodge, Beckenham

This pub is in a lovely building but that`s about all that is good about it. It used to be a lovely quality pub with a British Empire theme with old prints of The Raj on the walls palms etc.,
But now it is a downmarket basic bar with no frills. It is not really the place to go for a drink unless you wear jogging bottoms and have a tattoo on your neck. The Management could be making a fortune, as there is no competition in the vicinity. I don`t understand it.

The Oakhill Tavern, Beckenham

I went last week, and it was so cold inside the pub that everyone had their coats on ! I kid you not. I was told this happens all the time and it seems the Landlord is directing the central heating up to his own apartment and leaving the pub freezing. There was a broken window which has been boarded up for some time now. I was also amazed that a pint of beer cost me �3.20 ! this is 60p more than you would pay in the High Street in a similar style pub.
The lavatories are revolting as well. Why endure such treatment ?
