skateboarding at the Grove Pub car park


Recommended Posts

I would just like to make a quick post about the unused space of the old grove pub. At the start of May a couple of us started clearing the two unused carparks of all its rubbish and glass on the floor. since then it has changed rapidly into a abit of a community project to make it as good as possible to skate. We have all collectively tried to keep people breaking in to the actual pub and tried to make everyone walking past feel welcomed to come and have a chat or even help out. Id just like to mention this space has been unused for 8 years.We have spoken to the police alot and they have been fine with us skating there for minimal complaints. The land owners are threatening to come in and have to knock our stuff down in order to get equipment in to make the pub more secured.


We have creatively turned an unused space into something much more valuable than most things can even account for.

I?ve signed the petition... These lads cleaned up a derelict wasteland and turned it into something positive. There?s some real community spirit at the grove diy. It?s a good thing. Will be a shame to have it destroyed only to turn back into a wasteland.

Signed. This is an opportunity for the estate to actually do something positive by doing virtually nothing, let's hope they take it.

Might be worth getting a Councillor involved?

I'm very local and if you're improving an eyesore, which you are, then crack on.

oh please i live right next door to the pub these lads r doing nothing wrong they are very polite and helpful group. They are trying to build a community where kids can go. If the land owners are so worried why dont they do something its a eye sore living next to it. And when the travellers where there we could not even open our front doors. These lads keep it clean and tidy and are no bother. Allow them to keep doing what there doing.

And dont listen to the few complaints u got cos i can tell you whos complained

Signed - it?s been great to see some people making use of this while the Dulwich Estate lets it rot away until they finally browbeat Southwark into submission for a luxury flat development. Have you spoken to Andy Simmons - I think this is still in his area as councillor and he?s always been helpful on stuff like this in the past?

    • Or don't stop using cash. Stop using your phone or even your watch as a banknote. At the same time avoid the risk of having your card cloned at cash points, by hand held card readers, oyster readers and point-of sale terminals to name a few. God only knows how much damage we're doing to the planet because all the above must require a hell of a lot of resources and juice from the grid. It won't happen though. I know of quite a few people who deem carrying cash about as a pain/ chore. But not a big lump of plastic with a screen and full of personal information that can be easily gleamed. I feel the same about carrying a phone about so i don't most of the time. I'll be in the minority but certainly don't see or treat a phone as a necessity.  You can't get a banknote out of your sky rocket with a phone in your hand. It's become a source of dopamine for many. It's an addiction for many. They're an easy target for thieves. They're a godsend to cyber fraudsters who are stealing billions and are doing so without the need of cash points.
