    I boxed there for Orpington. Used to box a kid from Eltham called Gerry Taylor back then. 
    ‘I think the Downham Tavern was known as the biggest pub in Europe at one time. Might be wrong.

    Biggest pub, but I thought the Falcon by Clapham Junction station had the longest bar....though I maybe wrong, for what it's worth I believe Tottenham's new ground will have the longest bar, when it opens.
  • I remember reading that it had the longest bar in Downham
  • Rockabilly night on a Sunday, great times...
