As an aside, day-drinking cheapskates - I mean, those looking for a friendly tavern to replace the Spoons should have a look at The Hill around the corner. It had a sign up advertising a lager and an IPA at £3.95 a pint all day every day last time I passed.

Any news guys? It seems to be that the Capitol will be turning into a new pub! But this has not been confirmed yet. Any and all new information would be greatly appreciated 🤘🏼

That's a massive space for a pub that isn't a Spoons!

Do you know what pubco (?) it is?

I'm guessing probably a chain rather than an independent, but I would dearly love to be wrong.

Agree with Sue - seems unlikely that  the  whole space would operated by another pubco - it's massive (and not cheap)

 

Details still seem to be up on Savill's so not sure it has been acquired by another pubco

I think the lease is still held by Wetherspoons and they are responsible for paying rent and rates until late 2025. It’s the remainder of the lease that is for sale. Wetherspoons had been trying to sell the lease for the best part of ten years, so I’m guessing the place was never really profitable.

While the owner is being paid six figures by spoons for the next 18 months they have no need to worry, so the place will probably sit empty.

April 2024 update: https://planning.lewisham.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=_LEWIS_DCAPR_123541&activeTab=summary

Looks like a planning application was made on the address regarding an alteration to the premises license... By Trafalgar Entertainment, through an architects firm as the agent! So looking like it might become a cinema or theatre looking at their other buildings!

Gambado would be a good use. The one in Beckenham was rammed until it closed during COVID. Presumablt there aren't many other businesses that can use a space that large while preserving the features, and I doubt the council has money for anything not-for-profit.

Disagree on this occasion, Beckenham is away from the high street and has parking.  There is already enough hassle on Perry Vale behind the station with drivers parking on the double yellows when there is a big event on making the road dangerous for all.  There is a reasonably large car park not far away but many don't or wont use it.  Ideally of course families would arrive using the wonderful public transport in the area.....

Anyway what will be will be.

      WARNING . Please feed the birds in your garden

      By Angelina · Posted

      Great shout. They do need the extra fat when it’s winter, but don’t use fat balls from April as they are dangerous for nestlings as the babies can choke on lumps of the fat. When it gets milder switch to suet pellets as they are harder and don’t melt (the grease is bad for feathers.

      Rather alarmist. There is unlikely to be snow this week, but even if there is that is natural and wildlife adjust accordingly. There are fewer insects to eat due to what humans have done to the planet over the decades.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations  In particular: Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Agricultural Chemicals: Climate Change: Pollution: Invasive Species: There is even a case for not feeding birds due to the spread of disease through feeders, greenfinch population was decimated.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/24/should-we-stop-feeding-birds-what-happens-if-we-do-and-does-it-spread-disease   I do feed the birds but keeping a watching eye on the evidence.   And I try to grow insect and bird friendly plants including attempts at a meadow.   There could also be an argument for not keeping cats as these may decimate bird populations.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/14/cats-kill-birds-wildlife-keep-indoors   You will need squirrel proof feeders and even then you may have the starlings and green squwaky things eating most of the food left out for small birds.

      Apparently this year due to the weather there are fewer insects for the birds to eat. So please if you don’t usually buy fat balls & seeds to put out (in safe places to avoid the cats ) a plentiful supply . They really need it this year, especially with snow forecast later this week.    Thankyou

      Police Incident outside Rose Fish/Parade East Dulwich Roas

      By NewWave · Posted

      I hope she and the rider of the bike are ok. I feel its understandable that locals may be concerned when they see a road taped off and police presence.
