Looking at the posts on this forum there is a huge demand for a hotel around Dulwich. Even just looking at the weddings/ births threads. Not everyone can squeeze into the Victoria Inn. A hotel would create jobs too. Bring it on ( as long as it does not try to be too expensive- in which case they would have to seriously upgrade the pub food).

A hotel lives or dies by the quality of its service, so this can only be a good thing surely?


I'm assuming that it'll largely retain its pubness downstairs?


"it'll largely retain its pubness downstairs" My, my, one superfluous letter could give that a WHHOOOOLE new meaning!!

Good news. I've been looking for something like this for friends and family to stay in when visiting, actually was hopeful The Dog would have a few B & B rooms and surprised and disappointed when I found out this wasn?t the case. The biggy is going to be how much they are planning to charge...
Yes this is definitely the Crown and Greyhound in Dulwich Village. There is a notice up (not a planning application notice but an information sheet) outside the post office in Dulwich Village. The pub are proposing to convert the building into a twenty-room hotel. They will retain the function room at the front of the building, and convert the function room at the back of the building into (part of the) accommodation. The pub and the restaurant will remain. Should this go ahead, the building will close for 15-17 months while the works are undertaken.

Would the whole place need to close Jagger?

The main reason we are not getting married in Dulwich next year is lack of hotel rooms for those coming from out of town / abroad....I think there must be demand for a nice, 4 star "boutique" hotel in the area. Would be a boost for the area I reckon.

Worst meal I've ever had anywhere, ever, was at the Dog.

The Dog has gone seriously downhill in the last year or so - not sure if there's been a change of ownership or management but the food is now appalling, it used to be just about passable - great waste, partic for what could be such a great place in the village. Very sad state it is in at the mo. maybe this will improve things. A sensitive, not corporate makeover is required.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
