National Gallery

Brick Lane Market

East End of London, 2017, A5

The Grosvenor

Fairwell to the Grosvenor, Stockwell, South London

I thought I’d mark the sad closing of the Grosvenor Public House in Stockwell by posting a few drawings that I made there.

It’s a great old London pub of the kind that are getting rarer these days, I went there mainly for Club Integral, which was held in the back room and will have its final night there on Friday the 18th July.

Club Integral

Club Integral at the Grosvenor, Stockwell

Possibly the most varied, entertaining and unpredictable regular live music night that London has to offer, I heartily recommend that you get yourselves down to Club Integral.

The nights at the Grosvenor will end on July 18th, but it continues at The Others in Stoke Newington, and heres hoping they’ll find another South London venue before too long.

Many thanks to all concerned.
