The Waterloo and the Welly are both reasonably well populated. Welly has loads of different beers. Waterloo's got a nice garden.

 

Freemantle in general has a surprisingly large amount if pubs and most if them seem to have a decent hard-core of customers. Some of them are a bit special but that's just the general public for you.

Used to go in the Wellington Arms a fair bit, that's pretty close I think?

 

Yep me too. Very hazy memories though, not helped by being mixed with memories from the Wellington Arms close to Waterloo station. I was carried out of one of these and then dropped, (leading to things getting worse) but it could have been either

Carried out and then dropped??! There's got to be a story there....

 

And you seem so responsible, Bucks!

Its unlikely but did anyone else frequent the Anchor & Hope, Threefield Lane? Small and cozy, not the highest quality but a welcome change when walking away from London Road glitzy places

 

Yes, I used to drink in there a fair bit in the mid-late 70s - liked the place a lot. They served Royal Oak (a lovely strong best bitter from Eldridge Pope) and there was a bar billiard table as well. Proper old neighbourhood boozer. We used to refer to it affectionately as the W*nker and Pope, as you would do.

 

Long gone now, almost needless to say.

Bullseye is long gone, along with The Target, Elephant & Castle and Chamberlain.

Robin Hood is still going, as are the Gardeners & The Plough.

 

Hey thanks for telling me that...........did the circuit from pub to pub many years ago.............would tell about the time I passed out in The Gardners in 1973 but there are a lot that hate me on here.

Ah, well I was some years behind you but as I used to work nearby, many an evening out started there. More than a few ended there. Was a Pool table for sure and some decent landlords. Replaced as you say, by a shiny nondescript block of flats.
