Are you getting ready to say goodbye to Eltham’s popular Wetherspoons pub?
The Bankers Draft, located in Eltham High Street, joins 32 other Wetherspoons pubs across the UK that have been put up for sale.
The chain has made a "commercial" decision to sell the pubs which will continue to operate as Wetherspoons outlets until they are sold.
The company said the rise in staff wages and repair costs could eventually lead to a £30 million loss.
