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.

    • Wouldn't it make more sense to ask the guy who posted the rumours for the source of the information? The Crown & Greyhound refurb was a big job - not surprising that it took longer than just a simple repainting. But renovating the Grove would be even bigger because it's totally wrecked, and there's a shortage of skilled labour and much more expensive materials now...
    • Rather bizarrely, I received a text from TJ surgery offering this service. To be clear, no data was asked for in the text so I don't suspect a scam but surely this is dodgy? Where does my DNA info end up and who would have access? I'm going to the surgery on the invite date to ask precisely this.
    • I used Emmaus https://emmaus.org.uk/slc/ to clear my grandfathers house last year. They were great. They all charge for this service so will come and give you a quote first.  
    • Hi, does anyone know of any charities or companies that can come and clear your house to be donated for a good cause? I know the British heart foundation does but wondering if there are others? We are moving overseas and hoping to donate most of our belongings in one swoop if we can! Thanks.
