The national chain, JD Wetherspoon was established in 1979 and operates a range of \u201caward-winning\u201d pubs and hotels across the whole of the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n

But fans of the famously cheap pub chain could have to bid farewell to their local this autumn.<\/p>\n

A total of 11 \u201cSpoons\u201d sites will cease trading this autumn, some after decades of business and others just a few years after opening.<\/p>\n

It comes as part of a new wave of closures planned by the company to streamline its portfolio of pubs.<\/p>\n

A long list of Wetherspoons sites have already closed their doors this year, the most recent of which was one coined the \u201cgrandest\u201d Wetherspoons in London.<\/p>\n

The Capitol in Forest Hill took last orders for the final time on Sunday, October 15 after JD Wetherspoon made the \u201ccommercial decision\u201d to close the site.<\/p>\n

Located at the former Capitol cinema, the iconic bar was described as a \u201crare survival\u201d of a complete 1920s art deco picture house.<\/p>\n

Fans of the chain took to X, formerly Twitter, to share their thoughts on the closure. One person wrote that the South East London pub was \u201cimpressive\u201d while another opined: \u201cThe prettiest maybe but most definitely the grandest Wetherspoons in London. The Capitol in Forest Hill.\u201d<\/p>\n

The memorable pub will soon be joined by 11 more sites which will exit the high street this side of Christmas.<\/p>\n
