With some help from the Peckham Society, the pub has been listed as an ?asset of community value? by Southwark Council pursuant to the Localism Act 2011. The Council processed the application swiftly and the pub was withdrawn from the auction it was due to be sold at on 29 October.


The campaign to save the Ivy House is investigating putting together a community to bid to buy the pub when it goes back on the market. It?s a big, exciting project that has the potential to really enhance the surrounding area and we hope that you will support us.


There is much work to be done over the coming months. In particular, the campaign is looking for help from people with skills in the following areas:


1. PR and communications.

2. Fundraising, particular for social enterprises.

3. Financial planning, forecasting and accounting.


If you have some time, skills and energy that you?d like to share with the campaign then please get in touch by personal message through this forum. Everyone is working pro bono on the campaign, but it's a chance to work on a great project with some lovely and talented people.


You can also find out more about what we?re doing by checking out our facebook group (savetheivyhouse) and following us on Twitter @save_ivy_house


Thank you!


Save the Ivy House.

    • Danny re-tiled and generally cleaned up the roof tiles on our front bay in SE22 a few weeks ago. He was fairly priced, and although the scope of the work changed slightly (something we couldn't have foreseen before removing the existing tiles), the price remained the same for the job. He and a colleague worked hard for three days (one more than initially planned) through pretty grim weather. With anything unexpected, he came to me with solutions rather than problems. They were polite, courteous, and left the site as tidy as they could after cutting roof tiles in the driving rain!
    • Perhaps first leak was caused by a combination of faulty rendering and a hole in the felt so re-rendering was able to fix it. This course of action wouldn't solve your current problem, it does sound like a separate issue. His guarantee would only cover the rerendering not any hole in the felt. Sorry this isn't what you want to hear.
    • I can't speak about other places but as someone who uses Mind in Forest Hill, these small studios are having a boom due to increased working from home.  Now I can work two days a week at home, I can use them at lunch time or early evening, it is a short walk from home so I can get changed and shower at home (so the studio does not need a big changing room or showers like a traditional gym),  whereas before Covid it would have a  been weekend only thing for me. I asume there are many like me so they can make a small space finacially viable. I am biased but Mind is great, it is a very inclusive woman friendly space, classes are very reasonable for instructor led classes, (there are different packages but you can get 10 for £100 if you oay in advance) and the fact there are very few bells and whistles keeps it affordable.   I prefer smaller studios as you don't want big classes for pilates and yoga as you need instructors to be able to see everyone and assess and adjust form for safety.
