Storyline
Only Fool And Horse, just like the TV series, is based on Del Boy and Rodney’s dubious attempts to become millionaires. Dubious because the brothers set out to make money by selling inferior quality and illegal goods and generally trading on the black market.

Nestled in Hammersmith, this legendary venue has seen the likes of The Rolling Stones, Queen, David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, and even Ella Fitzgerald grace its stage.
