Did not realise it was still there. No signage ?


Probably waiting for a Sign Writer who can spell Pyrotechnics as opposed to Pyrotechnist's


Opposite the site the Brocks Fireworks Factory off of Nunhead Lane. Brock Street is opposite.

Pyrotechnist's is quite correct; Wheelwright's Arms, a place where a wheelwright drinks, Pyrotechnist's Arms, a place where a pyrotechnist, such as might have worked in the fireworks factory, drinks.

Indeed.


Google is usually Dulwich Fox's friend! It seems to have let him down on this occasion, as a quick google would have shown him that the OP's spelling of the pub name was correct :)


It would even have come up with a picture of the pub, a map and the address :)


The wonders of modern technology, yet again :)

Yes .. I too thought it was The Pyrotechnist's Arms and indeed it is.

But a link to their WebSite also said Pyrotechnics Arms


A very blurred photograph too big to place here (Cannot be bothered to Photoshop and reduce size)

confirms it as Pyrotechnist's Arms.


Apologies for any confusion.


I suspect it will have a name change to forget its history..


The Nunhead Old Stoat and Badger Ale House.. maybe..

I don't think it has a Website.


A site called "Beer in the Evening" has it listed as the Pyrotechnics Arms, and somebody has pointed out in the comments on that site that they have got its name wrong.


Everywhere else that I can see has its correct name.


I doubt very much that its name will be changed after any refurb.


ETA: There are another couple of obscure pub listing sites which have it as the Pyrotechnics Arms. They've probably lazily got their information from the first one, instead of checking it out.

Just for future reference, there are loads of sites where you can resize pics in a zillionth of a second (well, slightly slower).


The one I use is this:

Obviously Photoshop is good for more complex things, but for a simple resizing to lower res in order to post online, there are many quicker and easier options.

    • I would leave London, or at a push move back to north London. In SE London if you want to get away in a car you are trapped, always an hour to go the first 10 miles, chugging up to the M4 or round the south circular, which is really just a line someone drew connecting a load of roads. and I know there are trains but first you have to get to those mainline stations, unless you only want to leave London to go to Kent. which I don't. 
    • It was you who  made it personal in the first place,  Jazzer. You said you didn't feel safe in the streets,  and you said you didn't go to Central London because you didn't feel safe there. So are you now saying that wasn't "personal"? "Fire from the hip." Another interesting choice of words 🙄 I'm not "demanding" anything! I asked you some perfectly reasonable questions in  response to your own statements. None of which you have answered. Never mind. It seems to be pointless having a discussion with you. It's long past my bedtime. I'm going to turn on my sleep app  and go to sleep 😴💤
    • Hi Forumites, This afternoon someone in a dark blue/black saloon car collided with my parked car on Thompson Road, SE22 9JR. I have a neighbour’s doorbell cam footage of the collision at 14:30 19/09/2025 but am unable to identify the registration plate. If anyone has footage of a car travelling down Thompson Road towards Crystal Palace Road at that time please PM me. Of course if the Perp would like to confess they can also PM me. Thankyou.
    • Fireworks again tonight, Melbourne Grove North LTN area.
