With the news that BMW are leaving the JQ (blaming the upcoming clean air charges, makes a change from Brexit!) and chatting to friends they were trying to recall old pubs on the site. Any offers anyone? Cheers
Thanks for that. I suspect they are incorrect and are thinking of the closed pubs further along like the Summer Hill Stores or something like that. BMW staff moving to other showrooms elsewhere I understand. My guess is business is not as good as once was and any excuse is merely a smokescreen to cover that!They are only just on the edge of the Jewellery quarter, so would not have far to go to leave ! I do not think I can see any pubs on the site in the Parade. Am not sure how far up Camden st the firm went, but there was the Golden cup opposite where Sloane st meets, but, as that disappeared around the time of WW1, I somehow suspect none of your friends will remember it
More like the lease is up and the landlord wants to hike the rent.With the news that BMW are leaving the JQ (blaming the upcoming clean air charges, makes a change from Brexit!) and chatting to friends they were trying to recall old pubs on the site. Any offers anyone? Cheers
Good stuff thanks, that’s the pub they remember. Many thanks.There are a few pubs mentioned about The Parade on 2009 thread 'The King Edward Pub.
Nope it’s where the BMW dealership is at the moment.Is the King Edward still there? I recall going there, the best part of 50 years ago, with friends, and remember there was a very, very good young piano-player/singer who had everyone rolling in the aisles with his comic songs.
