Hello. I've just joined and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. 'The Grove' Pub,on the South Circular Rd,near Dulwich park,opposite Streatham C.C. has been closed for some time now. The old Pub sign is still there and I'm wondering who to contact with a view to purchasing it. This was the pub where I met my future wife at Xmas 1990,we married in 1995 but she died in 2011. I have recently moved house and would really like the sign to put up in my garden room as the focal point of a memorial to her memory. Any advice would be appreciated. THank you.

Good luck in finding someone interested. Given that it?s unlikely to re-open, I?d be half-tempted to rock up with a high vis vest, some cones and a ladder and liberate the sign. You?d get more attention from people praying it?s the first step in a refurbishment than anyone official.

Yeah, I'd just turn up with a ladder and a toolbox, and take it down myself. If anyone else actually wanted it, it would already be gone.


Actually, a pub sign such as this has commercial value (and may even be listed, if the building itself is). Taking it is theft, for which you could be prosecuted. The fact that something hasn't already been stolen doesn't mean it is available to steal without consequence.

They suggested you contact Harvester? The pub hasn't been a Harvester for a while, well before it closed - the pubco which has the lease on the Grove is Stonegate as far as I recall (see https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/residents-want-answers-future-dulwichs-old-grove-tavern/).

      The Mansion Tax

      What worries me is all the talk of these foreign architectural styles.  Art Deco (French) and Art  Noveau (Belgium - can you even name ten famous poeple from Belgium),   Thank heavens for good old British Arts and Crafts, harking back to previous times.   What do you think those who are asset poor and cash poor may think?  Don't you feel there is a case for evening things out? Get real.  There are numerous anti-Labour threads and a few of you who clearly hate everything Labour, no doubt going back decades.  Not everyone of course who have posted on this weird thread has such strong views.   For balance there are a lesser number of threads on other political parties and a former prime minister, but they attract far less traffic, and one person seems to go out of their way to defend Farage

      Is there a viable alternative to Sadiq?

      There is a possibility that poor air quality leads to adult onset asthma.  The Lancet did not confirm this and stated that more work was required.  10,000s of deaths are linked to poor air quality.  Surely it is good that our Mayor wants to further improve air quality.  That is the important aim, rather than pick holes in what he said.

      There's an indicative map here of whi falls foul. Sevreal dozen in SE 22ml. I dont think this is up to date though. And by the time the government have done their "independent" valuations I think we can expect a lot more to fall into this tax trap.   https://taxpolicy.org.uk/2025/11/27/mansion-tax-map-where-the-money-comes-from/
