Intrepid Fox
Found out this pub is closing on Monday 11/9. An outrage! This is a must visit on any trip to London. A true rock pub it is a travisty that it is being sold for flats. Not that it'll make much difference there is a petition at intrepidfox.com which I have signed.
I made a special visit Saturday, coming back from Ipswich to enjoy a final pint in one of London's truly historic and great pubs. Despite having to queue for half an hour to get in, and making a charitable donation on admittance I was not disappointed. Heard AC/DC, Van Halen and BonJovi all at a reasonable volume and mingled with many rock fans including several rock chicks! As a gordie bloke in an Angelic Upstarts T-Shirt said, it's a great shame and he had to make an effort to show his respects for a truly unique place. We'll have to wait and see where the London Rock & Alternative scene make their new home, but I doubt it will have the tradition od a truly fine pub.
