    google result........

    The pub was renamed as the Loughborough Park Tavern some time in the 1880s, and was rebuilt in 1899 as a substantial three-story building. I haven’t managed to find any photos of the original building.
    The Tavern stood between a small row of shops, at 305 & 307 Coldharbour Lane SW9.
    To the east was Blake’s bicycle shop at number 309 selling Raleigh ‘all steel’ bicycles, then R E Hobday’s free off-licence, a closed shop at 313, then a newsagent and another Blake’s bike shop.
    To the east of the pub at number 301-303 was Barker Ltd., and then Loughborough Park (Moorlands Road). The whole strip of shops and the pub were pulled down in the late 1970s.

    Not sure how much you have found out about LVX903J since the last post but it features as the camera car in the Castrol film "A Dash of the Irish".
    Sorry for repeating what you may already know but the car is driven by non other than Paddy Hopkirk as he films some of the stages in the 1971 circuit of Ireland rally. These LVX 900 series cars are seemingly the very first AVO built Mexico's and your car should have a very low unit number.
    The car is clearly visible at 21.02mins.
