There’s been ample debate on the urban75 bulletin boards<\/a> about what’s been going on at The Angel<\/a> – a\u00a0traditional\u00a0West Indian pub on Coldharbour Lane,\u00a0Brixton\u00a0that closed down last year.<\/p>\n

“Will This Be A Pub Again?”<\/p>\n

Very unlikely, I fear. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
