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?

    • Nauris and his team have done fantastic work in our garden for the second year. Last year, they sanded, oiled the deck and did an immaculate job of paving the area around the deck. Then two weeks ago, I asked Nauris if he could build a garden shed, sand and oil the deck and paint and repair the fences. Again, another excellent job and he was great at fitting in a couple of small fixes. We are really pleased with the shed which is well made and painted and blends in well to the garden. Nauris is really respectful and always left everything tidy in the evening and spotlessly clean at the end of the job. Nauris also provided a clear quote for the work at the beginning.  I recommend Nauris Graudins (and his team) very highly - [email protected]  
    • So who actually checks that the above is followed - are there going to be "surprise" inspections ?
    • We have used Aria and AFE Plumbing for many years on a number of jobs - installing new taps and showerhead, unblocking pipes.  He is always quick to respond and able to swiftly attend to the issue, easy to communicate with, and makes sure the job gets done. Definitely recommended. 
    • Well you've said i'm taking a pro cash stance too far. Perhaps not twisting- i used the wrong words but you are putting words in my mouth no? I'm not one for tech, that's for sure but how do you come to the conclusion i'm pro cash? I merely pointed out that cashless and using cards / card readers/ oyster readers/ and other terminals etc aren't risk free. If i was pro cash i wouldn't be using a card on occasions. Indeed. You can say that again. Irony and self awareness not your strong point is it? Indeed. Just as well you're not the judgemental type hey!!   What a strange and arrogant entity you are.
