People have a right to live free from noise and disruptions in their own homes.
This right far eclipses the right to imbibe mild poison and be loud.
The real issue is the appalling state of housing in the city and the complete lack of modernisation in our buildings. Sure, it’s nice we have some old building facades, but actually living in them or running a business is impossible.
I dont get it, why do you move next to a 200 year old pub then bitch about it. Not like they had no choice. At 2 million for your home, you can afford anywhere else. Councils bending the knee to a few old geezers complaining will ruin this city’s history.
The pub is the Sekforde in Clerkenwell
I used to live in Soho. Honestly after a while you kinda just get used to it. Every now and then you get to overhear a hilarious drunken discussion.
Tried to read the story but way too many pop ups on that website.
Made it all unreadable.
I live near a long established pub and don’t complain, as probably most of us do since it is London. I would be curious to know pre and post-Covid noise levels though. This sub is full of basically complaints about the breakdown of basic common courtesy post pandemic. I’ve noticed increased volumes on certain nights that were more than in the past. It’s too late to do it now, but it would be interesting to see if overall volumes have increased as people just behaved more poorly and whether or not this can solely be blamed on different kinds of people moving into a neighbourhood. I’d have a strong suspicion it is both factors at play a bit.
If the pub’s been there 200 years,how is it only a problem now?
It’s wild how the concept of agent of change is just completely ignored by councils at this point.
Stop being noisy.
The maddest thing about this is that the Sekforde is a tidy little old fashioned gastro pub that does good food. It’s hardly Tiger Tiger.
If places like this aren’t safe then London will be pub-less within our lifetime.
I live near a st Mungos, apparently it’s fine for people to stand outside there and smoke crack, be drunk and disorderly and get government funding but when a pub that’s been around for nearly 200 hundreds years gets a couple of complaints they will get shut down.
People are dicks. My mate had a gallery/bar in the arches near London Bridge station. He’d been there for 11 years, then some twat moved into a flat across the road and immediately started complaining about the noise.
Council sided with the twat and said no one was allowed to stand outside anymore. Bloke continued to complain, so my mate had to have new soundproof doors installed, and the twat still kept on moaning.
Pubs should be allowed to evict dipshit anti-social neighbours and deport them to somewhere nice and quiet, like the middle of Loch Ness

Move near pub, complain about noise. FML
