Amersham Arms Closed for Summer
The Amersham Arms in New Cross has been taken over by new owners Lock Taverns and will be closed for the summer for refurbishment. Lock Taverns have promised that the pub will continue to be a live music venue although 'It will be more along the trendy route'. Whether established nights at the Amersham like The Catapult Club and the experimental Gluerooms will continue remains to be seen.
Doesn't look any trendier yet...they've given it a fresh coat of dull grey paint. I think Dulux call it "drab"!
ReplyDelete'Lock Taverns' is not the name of the company. That is the name of another pub they own in Camden.
