So it's a dead end with a bit of old stock in it?

I took a look a few weeks ago. It's a very long walk from the concourse to the Brewdog pub with only a handful of shops occupied in between. I wish I had used a stopwatch as when I got to Brewdog, I decided I then didn't have time to go in as I had to walk all the way back to the concourse and then walk from the twenty something platforms over to platform 1 to catch my train. The pubs outside the station are nearer.
Oh and I previously read somewhere that a pint in Brewdog is about £7. It's supposedly the largest bar in London and may be the only bar currently open in the station.

I am going to retract this comment as I took another walk there last week and it didn't take anywhere near as long as I remembered the first time. I think the first time I also explored the lower level before I reached the entrance of Brewdog which probably explains why I thought it was a long walk. This time I started from the National Windrush Monument on the concourse, pressed Start on the OutdoorActive app and walked to Brewdog and pressed End. The app tells me that this time I walked 0 metres. That's probably due to a lack of a GPS signal down there. It also tells me I walked less than a minute which also doesn't sound right. I'll try again next week using my phones stopwatch |

Roll on when they get Sainsburys finished. They’ll beat M&S in prices hands down. Meanwhile am really pi$$ed off that both M&S and Pure refuse to take cash payments. What’s wrong with our British money?

Brewdog’s £7 a pint of beer-flavoured water is outrageous. When Spoons can do pints of real ale for £3.50’ish Brewdog’s greed is unacceptable.

If I could make a little plug here ? Just over Waterloo Road is the Union Jack Club: Cheap beer (£2.90), excellent food, superb value accommodation and first class general surroundings. If you are an ex member of the UK▸ armed forces (non-commissioned) it is well worth its annual membership fee, just for a couple of visits a year to break even. https://ujc.org.uk/ |

I understood at one point it might be possible for the other 58 million of us to stay there - not all at once, of course. |

OK. It took me 2 minutes and 10 seconds to get to Brewdog from the National Windrush Monument on the concourse today. Still haven't been inside yet. |
