I thought Johnny Thunders used to flat with Tony James in London?

The place was known as the Robin Hood for many years and it was a pretty dodgy place to be honest. The name changed in 1985/6 to the Marquee. This name didn't last long 'cos a certain venue in London threatened to sue and it became 'The Pub With No Name' for maybe a year. John Smiths then changed the name to The Duchess Of York after that.

I knew it had been the "Robin Hood" and "The Pub With No Name", but didn't know about the Marquee thing
