It was between the centre of Peckham and the Old Kent Road as I remember Alan, I know we could get a bus from our digs near the Oval Cricket Ground and it was about 4 stops down the line, the bus we caught was designated The Old Kent Road, as for the Landlord never new his name, gust his nick name, "Creeping Jesus" he was also the Drummer, the keyboard player was Peter Launden the pair were fronted by Singer Comedian Jimmy Jones, he was like London's answer to Bernard Manning sailed very close to the wind. When the Montague eventually closed the three of them opened a club called the King And Queen, in Canterbury, I still have a couple of vinyl albums recorded live at the Montague Arms.
