The Intrepid Fox - Soho
Everybody was dismayed when this historic piece of Soho was closed down in Autumn 06 to be demolished to make way for apartments.
Popular boozer especially amongst rockers,punk & goths. I used to go here before going to the old Marquee over the road (another sad loss)
Ultimate pub guide described it as "A scary looking place from outside and even scarier inside, with scary patrons and scary toilets. If you like longhaired men, big cleavages and even bigger riffs, then the Intrepid Fox is the place for you."
The Intrepid Fox was founded by Whig leader Charles James Fox in 1784 who promised to give free beer to anyone who offered him electoral support. In more modern times it was the favourite watering hole of London's rock elite and a big tourist draw. Mick Jagger and Rod Stewart are rumoured to have come close to trading punches there after the former tried to poach Ronnie Wood - then in Stewart's band The Faces - for the Rolling Stones. The late hellraising actor Richard Harris was a regular and Mel Gibson has been a customer.
Malcolm McLaren, who used to drink at the Fox with Johnny Rotten and the other Sex Pistols in the Seventies, backed an unsuccessful campaign to save the pub, having once named it one of the five best in the
world. 
I had no idea..... sob....  |

| | | I made a thread about this pub back in the day. It closed while I was away, so upset. My mate was there on its last day, was emotional apparently. And we don't even live near london. Remember being mighty pissed there before motley crue. The tables and chairs used to be chained down to keep from riots lush R.I.P |

One less reason to go to London now... And I was planning on going there since my sister went. I thought it would be cool. Fuck the new one.

Fuck the new one. | True, but the one thing that used to piss me off about that place is there was never enough room to breathe. Its why i stopped going. Also, because metal  actually really annoys me. But there's usually a good crowd in there, and its better than most pubs.

| | | Pubs don't look like my thing. Will I have to mingle with the goths in the underground clubs?

| | depends which clubs you go to.
There a some really nice pubs in London though. Especially in the summer when you can sit in the gardens. They're not all chav nightmares.
