As an aside, day-drinking cheapskates - I mean, those looking for a friendly tavern to replace the Spoons should have a look at The Hill around the corner. It had a sign up advertising a lager and an IPA at £3.95 a pint all day every day last time I passed.

Any news guys? It seems to be that the Capitol will be turning into a new pub! But this has not been confirmed yet. Any and all new information would be greatly appreciated 🤘🏼

That's a massive space for a pub that isn't a Spoons!

Do you know what pubco (?) it is?

I'm guessing probably a chain rather than an independent, but I would dearly love to be wrong.

Agree with Sue - seems unlikely that  the  whole space would operated by another pubco - it's massive (and not cheap)

 

Details still seem to be up on Savill's so not sure it has been acquired by another pubco

I think the lease is still held by Wetherspoons and they are responsible for paying rent and rates until late 2025. It’s the remainder of the lease that is for sale. Wetherspoons had been trying to sell the lease for the best part of ten years, so I’m guessing the place was never really profitable.

While the owner is being paid six figures by spoons for the next 18 months they have no need to worry, so the place will probably sit empty.

April 2024 update: https://planning.lewisham.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=_LEWIS_DCAPR_123541&activeTab=summary

Looks like a planning application was made on the address regarding an alteration to the premises license... By Trafalgar Entertainment, through an architects firm as the agent! So looking like it might become a cinema or theatre looking at their other buildings!

Gambado would be a good use. The one in Beckenham was rammed until it closed during COVID. Presumablt there aren't many other businesses that can use a space that large while preserving the features, and I doubt the council has money for anything not-for-profit.

Disagree on this occasion, Beckenham is away from the high street and has parking.  There is already enough hassle on Perry Vale behind the station with drivers parking on the double yellows when there is a big event on making the road dangerous for all.  There is a reasonably large car park not far away but many don't or wont use it.  Ideally of course families would arrive using the wonderful public transport in the area.....

Anyway what will be will be.

    • People living on main roads like South Circular,  Lordship Lane, Croxted Road, Grove Vale etc  have been treated like rubbish all alibg. I hope the Grove Tovern is developed into a green space or a block of flats. Let's hope montana trump supporters will perish as soon as
    • Hi!  Our just 4 year old is currently taking swimming classes with Cindy’s swim school and we’re finding them a bit too easy and hands on. On holiday recently she swam (albeit without much style!) at least 8m on her own.     We’re thinking of signing her up to the improvers lessons at JAGS.  I believe there are up to 10 children per class and two teachers in the water.  Has anyone had any experience of these classes? Do they encourage independent swimming? thank you 🙏 
    • Odd post.  London continues to be full of green and public space.  Labour kicked off the creation of a massive new park with revived and cleaner waterways in East London. Perhaps a mountain hut in Montana off grid may be more suitable for your needs, running water, timber, deer, a lifetimes supply of shotgun pellets, and hunting knives will do you fine.
