I think this is the pub that used to be the Copperfield - no chance for Antic now Sad

There seem to be fire engines from miles around in attendance!

Traffic through Catford today is, well, forget about it...

Edit: Yep, quite right, shzl400 - it was the Copperfield: http://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/944328...legations/

Is the South Circular still closed at Catford?

Any assessment of the scale of damage? The Fire Brigade's report seemed to imply that the pub was in a very bad way.
Could it mean total demolition?
Anyone got any pictures?

I have had some nice Sunday lunches and a pint or two in that pub.
What a terrible waste of money. Hope that the builders/owners have a good insurance policy...

Not sure about the traffic, though. Click again on the BBC Traffic link for an update.

I believe no longer anything to do with Antic or Tesco. New owners did want to convert the tops floors into flats, hopefully a pub will be there once worked out if building can be saved.

Another problem for unlucky drivers near Catford who are on the S Circular going East.
The traffic lights at junction with Canadian Avenue (just past the burnt-out pub) have now failed and the queues are building back to Forest Hill.

Third time unlucky (in only four days) for anyone using the South Circular.
