Executive bus stop, Lee Green.

Join us on Friday for a selection of beers from the sensational Drop Project, pride of South London.

A day later I’m still thinking about the man on my journey home, who stepped off the bus and walked straight into a pub. The bus had parked so close it was no more 3 steps - off the bus, to the pub door, into the pub. That’s almost ‘through the winter coats and into Narnia’ scene transition.

Full of booze and dips.
