My workmates visited the Crown and Anchor in
Brixton Road last week. They quite enjoyed it; found the drinks ok; and the
ambience enjoyable.
Sadly, this is yet another pub in the area that I
can't use due to lack of accessibility. According to my friends, there is an
imposing front step and the loos are all downstairs; which is kind of fucking
awkward for me, as a wheelchair user.
What a shame; well for me it is.
It wouldn't be so bad if the place was a pokey
little pub; but passing the Crown and Anchor to and from work every day, I
can't help to notice that it is quite long. Long enough to have accommodated a
two-metre square partitioned-off Kharzy.
The photo below gives some idea of the size of the
pub's interior.

Sure, an accessible toilet would have displaced a
couple of tables; maybe even attracted the wrong kind of boozers - you know,
wheelchair users, associated cripples and Radar key users...
Hmm, on reflection, I can actually sympathise with
the publican and his clientele; once you let one in, your guard drops, then
you're fucked. You end up with an alehouse that attracts a more rounded
cross-section of the area.
