Statement from Canavans on Facebook


This is terrible news from a venue that defines the cultural character of the area in my opinion. It?s been a key contributor to its success.


Hi Folks

It is with great sadness that I have to announce the closure of Canavan's peckham pool club. With no help from the government and after having talks with the landladies they are refusing to reduce the rent until the virus is dealt with. I can not afford to pay three months rent in advance in this situation. After pay my rent evry quarter on time for the past ten years this is a very hard pil to swallow but such is life. for the my staffs jobs and the future of the club I have loved I had to ask.

As you know we are a night time club and only get busy after 10.00pm there is no way I can survive.

I want to thank everyone who made Canavan's the world famous venue it became. From the famous to the yet to be famous who put on some fantastic events and members, guests and visitors, Thank you all. to all my staff who stud by me when times got rough, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I will close my door at 10.00pm on the 25th of September 2020

Greedy landlords or people who are also needing an income too?


An example of this being a friend who has been forced to sofa surf as their only source of income (their tenant)has not been paying rent due to Covid


The assumption being that as landlord they have heaps of cash


Very sad for Canavans also. The financial impact of Covid is hitting hard and will be worse during the winter when businesses try to survive without the initial government support

    • This presumably hasn't been done by vandals. It's hardly a Sycamore Gap situation. So if it's been done by professionals, unless it was a mistake (unlikely) there must have been a good reason, as it would have cost money. It would perhaps have been a good idea to put a notice on the tree explaining why such drastic work was done, but usually (I think) it would be either because of disease (often not noticeable on the surface) or that the roots or branches  were endangering nearby structures. As already said, nobody on here is likely to know. The tree department in Southwark Council are helpful in my (admittedly limited) experience. Please post on here when you have found out, as I agree what's left of the tree looks pretty odd. Depending on why the work was done, possibly they intend to remove the rest as well?
    • I have a very stupid question. I want to get a SIM card to put in an old mobile as a back up,  in case despite my best efforts my mobile gets stolen and I have no way of contacting anybody quickly, eg banks. Can I just buy any old cheap pay as you go  SIM card and put say ten pounds on it and it will then be fine for years (with the phone kept charged!) even if I don't use it, or do I have to use the phone  every so often to keep the SIM card valid?
    • I hate to see trees cut down to such an unfinished state. Unless the tree is home to wildlife, an effort should be made to remove & replace. Otherwise, it's just so useless & unsightly.
    • Given the level of care in Dulwich Park, I would not expect this to be careless or unnecessary. It will grow back.
