In the UK we don't formally celebrate July 4th since it's obviously the day the US decided to leave the Empire. The Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress on July 4th, 1776 announced the political separation of the 13 North American colonies from Great Britain!
The colonists felt that since they did not take part in voting for members of Parliament in England they were not represented in Parliament. So Parliament did not have the right to take their money by imposing taxes. "No taxation without representation" became the American rallying cry!!!
Welcome to SELBAC (South East London, Bromley and Croydon)!! Come and join us at The Railway once more!!!
We have an area centre left hand side (by the fruit machine) as you go in the front entrance of the pub (not the car park entrance at the rear)....
If you're new or unsure, just get in touch via our profile and we'll meet you at the door!!!
Everyone is welcome! Whether new to caching or experienced you'll find a warm welcome within! Come have a chat, swap trackables and maybe get help with puzzles you're struggling with!
If you park in the small car park please make sure you enter your Reg Number into the machine on the bar otherwise you WILL be charged!!!
The car park is quite small and you may have to park either on the nearby roads or in the car park by the Leisure Centre opposite for which there will be a charge.
Make sure you park fair and square in between the bays (in the Leisure Centre car park) as they do patrol this car park and issue tickets for bad parking!!!
Trains stop at West Wickham (Hayes line) from most of the London stations (Charing Cross, London Bridge and Waterloo East). Buses pass nearby (194 and 352).
