In the days when Norbury Council was separate from the London council, the Sussex was the first pub in London and the Norbury Hotel was the last in Norbury (the only one in Norbury). As it approached closing time, 10pm, in the Norbury Hotel many customers would wander down the high street crossing the River Wandel which was the boundary with London and the Sussex on the bank on London side where closing time was 11pm + a bit more.
