This post started after The Capitol manager informed the staff that the pub was going to close and become a cinema.
As previously posted, negotiations have stalled due to problems with English Heritage and Lewisham Council.
As they are unable to sell their lease, Wetherspoons are keeping The Capitol open for the foreseeable future but it depends what other offers they may get for the lease.
Wetherspoons will not confirm any of this officially but my source is very reliable.
