The Intrepid Fox has existed since 1784, and in recent years it has been one of the remaining havens for fans of the goth and alternative culture of London.(other than The SHIP on the same street) The owning brewery has recently sold the property to developers, who wish to turn it into flats. The Intrepid Fox is due to close on September 11th 2006.
While the news has been released at very short notice (no doubt to
the advantage of the sellers and buyers, if not the management and
punters), I believe that it is still worthwhile lodging a complaint
with relevant parties. It may not make a difference, it may be too
late, but the Fox is one of the last bastions (particularly in central
London) of the alternative/gothic culture and well worth stating a
desire to protect. (even if the toilets are sometime very smelly)
