The Wetherspoons pubs across south London we lost in 2023

In 2023, we saw many Wetherspoons across south London permanently close its doors.

At the start of the year, the popular chain revealed that five of its pubs across south London were up for sale.

These were the Wrong Un in Bexleyheath, the Bankers Draft in Eltham, the Asparagus in Battersea, the Capitol in Forest Hill and the Foxley Hatch in Purley.

So far, three out of the five have permanently closed its doors this year.

The Asparagus and the Wrong Un have found new buyers but it is unknown when they will shut for good.

So, for the last time lets hold our glasses high as we toast to the Wetherspoons pubs we lost in 2023.
