There is no denying that us south Londoners love a night out at our local Wetherspoons pub.

In 2022, the popular chain revealed that five of its pubs across south London were up for sale.

These were the Wrong Un in Bexleyheath, the Bankers Draft in Eltham, the Asparagus in Battersea, the Capitol in Forest Hill, and the Foxley Hatch in Purley.

Three out of the five permanently closed their doors a year after the chain announced its sales.

The Bankers Draft closed on August 20, the Capitol shut on October 15 and Foxley Hatch closed on December 3.

At the start of 2024, the Asparagus and the Wrong Un were the only two of the five left open.

The Asparagus was the first south London Wetherspoons to close in 2024 on March 17.

The Wrong Un was the last Wetherspoons to remain open out of the original five that were put up for sale.

An offer was made for the Bexleyheath pub, however it was decided on June 6 that it was taken off the market and it will continue to operate as a Wetherspoons.

The London & Rye in Rushey Green, Catford, also closed on August 25, marking the end of the boozer after 24 years in business, having opened in May 2000.

The pub was not in the original five that were put up for sale in 2022, but it was sold after being put up for sale earlier this year with offers starting from £850,000.
