The Napier has been in decline since Matt and Christine left last year. Fullers have really made a good job of ****ing it up in the last year. Let's hope the new landlord can revitalise it.
I lived in the Napier from 1981 to 2000. It's just got a new landlord after approximately a year of landlords and managers coming and going. Hope this one is good and stays.
I've been in the Jury's Out a few times in its previous incarnation as the Thurlow Arms. The pub you are talking about with the lezzas is the Queens Arms in George Street.
The original Red Lion was demolished and rebuilt in the sixties I believe, the current incarnation was converted into flats within the last ten years. Went in there once and it wasn't good!
