Ye Olde Harrow, Thames Dittonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
The pub is derelict and boarded up, bought by developers for another housing scheme, and awaiting planning permission for their development. Very sad as was a nice old pub.

It's gone. Developers bestride the site and the Harrow is no more.
|
Could do with a spruce up, but on the whole a good experience.

havent been in here for a long while but johnny the new manager has certainly improved the place , cleaner , brighter and more freindly, a real sports pub , fantastic atmosphere for the england semi laast weakend. much improved

Not the most upmarket pub, but as City_Womble infers, is that any reason to demolish it? No it bloody well isn't. The more remote areas of Surrey (of which this isn't one) were only 70 years ago among the poorest parts of Southern England and it's only recently that the BMW set have decided it's all theirs. Good Courage Best here, nice staff and down to earth but friendly locals.

One has to hope that the flats to be constructed on the site of this pub do not resemble in any way the housing estate on the other side of the road. Not a bad estate as such, but given that this is real cashed-up Surrey, then the non-cashed-up stand out even more, and the cashed-up living in ex-councils even even more. This is the clientele of the pub. It is a quiet place and little surprise that the owner is selling up.

This pub is subject to a planning application to turn it into flats.
