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.

I read that as you wanting to buy the pub itself! But lovely idea, and Dulwich Estates are the people to contact, good luck

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/).

    • Tas on The Cut is decent and has tables outside. The road is not too busy now so it can be pleasant.

    • Hi, hoping for a bit of help from the forum hive mind so thanks in advance.... Our property on Barry Rd was included in the External Major works that took place in 2022 (Dulwich Externals QHIP 19/20 Street Properties).  Recently we have discovered that Saltash, the contractors who carried out the work, basically patched and painted instead of fixed or replaced rotten window frames and didn't do anything to the cracked brick work which has now caused a bad case of damp in our property. Does anyone whose property was included in the works have information of any warranty or guarantee of work that was promised by Saltash or the council? As we moved in just before the work took place we weren't privy to the original communications around the work and I'd like to know where we stand before approaching the council to get it fixed..  Thanks!
