Steve,

To be accurate Shaka Zulu is a restaurant rather than a public house.

I was at the opening with King Goodwill.

Hi John.
I know, but on the basis that it has a bar and is open to the public I thought it a worthy contender. A bigger objection might be it has nothing to do with the AZW!
I was going to include The Duke of Cambridge - but there are stacks of them.

Steve,

No I'm a pedant over licensed premises, it is not worthy.

Whatever you don't get me going the sculptures and artwork in Shaka Zulu.

You mean to say they are not 100% accurate! Hard to believe. But having said that, compared to some of the so called art that sometimes appears (even on here) they at least have a presence. You old pedant you.

Steve,

Now you've done it, you have shown a photograph of those Maasai warriors that surround a statue of the late Henry Cele. Please tell me that you haven't got a photograph of the giant 'Shaka ~~Zulu~~ Maasai' figure?

Whoever provided that restaurant with the research should hang their head in shame. The worrying thing is that I heard they were hoping to open a branch in SA based entirely on the Camden one.

What this one? Luvly Jubly - as they say in Camden (or it might be Peckham).

Very tasteful! Perhaps they will use it at the proposed heritage centre - seems to be in similar vein.

How about this as a contender? High Wycombe. I'm sure someone can find an "Earl of Beaconsfield".
