Sorry to hear of the death this week of a couple of SE London nightlife legends: Charles Gallagher, landlord of the Dog and Bell in Deptford from 1988 to 2016, and Bill Mannix who has owned the Rivoli Ballroom in Crofton Park for the last 40 years and against the odds has kept it alive and thriving as London's last remaining ballroom of its kind.
Like many others I have spend many happy hours in both these fine places, which have had an enduring impact of the life and culture of SE London and beyond.
