The Bell, Southwark

This pub has been let go and is no longer the place of charm it once was. It is filthy and the seats are ripped, the carpets stained. THe sink smells of damp, and I saw a barmaid washing glasses in the sink, rinsing with hot water then re using. The bar maid, who may well be the landlady was sitting at a table eating, with wet hair, as thoughg it was her house. When she saw me at the bar she indicated thta one of the other customers serve me. It was empty and i am not surprised, it was shabby, dirty and unwelcoming. I have since been told the pub now has a very bad name, drug dealing and late nights. A shame as it was a nice pub a couple of years ago.
