Default Fulham Broadway station query

This week, I used Fulham Broadway station for the first time in a
while, and I was reminded that the exits for the platforms are halfway
along, forcing you to walk through the new shopping centre they've
built next door.

In the original station, the building was on the other side of the
train shed. The listed building is still there, and now acts as an
eating/drinking court. Quite a few original features remain, such as
the old booking office windows, which now serve rather expensive
drinks (expect to pay over £6 a pint, around three times the price in
the Wetherspoons in the new shopping centre).

But I've not worked out where the original platform exits were. Were
they, as I assume, nearer the road, so it was a shorter walk to exit
the station, with no requirement to walk past a load of shops?

There's a Wetherspoons selling beer at £2/pint? Postcode please!

Their beers start at just under £2, and I think all were under £3.

Fulham Broadway, as I said. I hope I'm remembering the prices right, but
I'm sure a round of three beers got ample change from a tenner at the
'spoons, but three pints cost around £20 in the arcade.

Except that it's not. As usual, you need to do better research before
making definitive, but completely misinformed, statements like that.

That was then and this is now. I can assure that the Oyster Rooms is a
huge, busy pub with about ten draught beers and ciders on tap.

I'm sure you'd love Tim Martin's Brexit posters, too.

You aren't so much misinformed, as jumping to conclusions. I did use the
Wetherspoons site: https://www.jdwetherspoon.com/pubs/all-pubs
because I was wondering if it might have price lists for each pub, to
check out your £2/pint in the Wetherspoons claim.

Nothing showing for Fulham, so I did some more research, and discovered
a couple of reports it was closing (as a Wetherspoons).

OK, so it was either reprieved, or hasn't found a buyer yet.

Neither.

You really need to improve your Googling skills. And read the posts you're
responding to properly.

Too much trouble to say what's actually happened, is it?
