Pubs in the London Bridge/Selhurst Park areas

[hexagon_sun]

I'll be stopping for a few refreshments en route tomorrow night - are any pubs at London Bridge/Selhurst Park designated 'Shrimper Zones' for the evening?

 

[Leeboy]

the Market Porter near Borough Market is the ear-marked pre-match boozer for many of us

 

[hexagon_sun]

Never been there before but looks like an excellent choice - I'll definitely be popping for one.

Handy as I can almost see it from the office.

I work at LB and go home via Croydon everyday so I think I have a rough idea.

Avoid at all costs the Barrow Boy and Banker as that is a Millwall pub on away days. By London Bridge market porter is good but my only concern is your still a 20 mins train ride from Palace. My line has been awful recently.

In Palace itself I am not really sure where to go as never been drinking age at any of the grounds at this level really. Meant to be an OK at Thornton Heath but warning to all as its rough round there.

I'll be drinking in "The Train Carriage", you can bring your own there. Expect to be up at L.Bridge drinking for 6ish.

i think your best bet is drinking around LB prior to the short-hop to Palace. there's not that much around Norwood Junction, a few ok places in Forest Hill a couple of stops closer to London but it'd be a pain in the arse to break up the train ride. Market Porter for me, or those two pubs down Borough High St on the side alleys (the George, and one i can't remember?)

Has to be a couple of ales in the Market Porter and then the train to Norwood Junction. I was thinking of getting the 19:13 train - gets to Norwood Junction for 19:33, and then it's about 10 minutes' walk to the ground... perfect for the 8pm kick off.

Uxbridge Shrimper shall be in the Market Porter. Giddyup!

If someone can post a map / directions, I'll be there at about 6.15 - 6.30

 

[shrimperman]

Directions from London Bridge Station would be helpful. Had a look at multimap but its a tad vague and not easy to quite see exactly how to get there, for us not so cultured Londoners

Or this one for the Market Porter

 

[DTS]

Or in English - Come out the station via the exit by platform 11 (exit between Boots and the Bridge Pub). Walk down London Bridge Road past the London bridge hotel to the end.

Straight head of you in Green Dragon Court - Walk though the alleyway under the railways and there is the market. Go thorugh the market and the pub is infront of you on the corner.

Sounds almost Shakespearean!

 

[SARF]

The Porter is a good pub, and does a great pint of ale if your into that pipe smoking cardy beardo stuff.. no matter how many maps you print off if you havnt been there before you will still take 10 minutes to find it..

Whenever anyone puts something like this you are require to make a mistake to allow other members of SZ to take the p1ss.

You're not kidding, Dave...

Good directions, though, DTS - although I'd agree with SARF that it's not that easy to find. However, I'll be there, and fully intending to slip out as early as poss to get there for as near to 6pm as I can make it.

Game on.

Walk down Green Dragon Court and go straight - You cannot go wrong. Above you is a restaurant called Roast. Once you see that keep walking and you can go wrong.

I would back Jamie Lawson to be able to find it from my directions.
