I don't, I always remember it being just marginally better a dive than the George IV though.
Then why be happy if it goes?
I dislike Subway (as in the fast food). I don't want them to shut down though.
I think it is fair to say that everyone on the Internet is annoying.

That's the problem with people who have not set foot in the 414 for years - they have no idea how much hard work has gone into cleaning it up.
"Do you believe in the devil? You know, a supreme evil being dedicated to the temptation, corruption, and destruction of man?"
"I'm not sure that man needs the help." (Calvin & Hobbes)
What exactly is the petition for?
Are the people running the 414 wanting to exit it or are they being forced out by the landlord who wants to make some money on the building?
If it is the former then there is very little chance of saving it!
I'm not sure the latter is good either
I presume the freeholder can make more money out of flats so the only way to prevent it is to offer more rent or have the planning application denied.
Lambeth Council seem hell bent on "gentrifying" the area so I think they'd favour a switch to retail and residential.
The applicant is Market Row Ltd, a property investment company so I'm guessing they own the freehold...

If people don't like it fair enough. Not sure why anyone would be happy if it closed down though.

Working for the council I know that an application like this isn't a done deal. I've seen applications tabled by an authority themselves crumble under the power of public objections.
The good thing about Planning is it is all public domain so getting info is relatively easy in some respects.
Whilst I am obviously very concerned I know that T & Louise will fight like hell to keep their home and their club. If those that even remotely give a shit help then the weight of numbers is something it will be hard for the authority to ignore.
