RIP The Tyburn pub!

So I have come to central London to shop and as I got off the pub I realised to my great dismay that the Tyburn aka spoons via Marble Arch is no more!

I have a great many RYL memories associated with it so a sad day indeed!

Whaaat?! Where are we going to hold the London meets now?!
Guess we'll have to move into the Costa at kings cross.



I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!


Who else is fine?!?!?

Ah man, I'll miss this place, had so many awesome meets there. Surprising when a big chain closes down, especially as we'd stake it out for 13 hours at a time! It was always packed

I know. It was so sudden - closed in may along with sainsburys, odeon. There's going to be a big new development.



It doesn't matter where you come from; it matters where you go.
No-one gets remembered for the things they didn't do.
We won't all be here this time next year,
so while you can take a picture of us.
We're definitely going to hell,
but we'll have all the best stories to tell.

I got so drunk in that pub so many times. I never planned to go back there. Drinking in my dining room is where it is at.

Surprisingly throughout all my time on RYL and the meets I went to I never went there! But I have been to a fair few Starbucks and Costas in London as well as parks for meets.



Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different…

you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.

Yeah the whole thing is becoming luxury flats overlooking Hyde Park!

I enjoyed it as a meet venue as it was versatile! If sunny Hyde Park if rainy spoons but alas this no more!

Lameo. We used to get drunk there all the time back in the day. Granted that was like almost 10 years ago now...
