We've noticed that there seems to be a significant increase in the number of people spilling out into the streets around the Forest Hill Tavern and making a LOT of noise after it closes on a Friday and Saturday night....l'm talking about 3-3:30am in a highly residential area. Last night was not so good, with a group of 8-10 people shouting and milling around on our road, with another group doing the same on Forest Hill Road at the bus stop near the pub....albeit that group seemed to be brewing-up for a fight amongst themselves or with others.


Being a grumpy so-and-so if l get woken up in the middle of the night, I was wondering what people think to the fact that a nightclub seems to have sprung-up, unknowingly to me at least, wihtoutany consultation.


What do other people think?

I live very close to the FHT Woodie and I haven't noticed any noise late at night. In fact I thought that it has been much better than a few years ago.


It will be interesting to get a few more opinions as it may be that I'm a really heavy sleeper now and a few years ago I would have been up every night with a new baby!

Indeed we were there the other evening and there were cards on the tables advertising various clubs at the pub. I do think you should ask the council about this. They have a noise abatement number you can call any time

My sympathies are with you!

Has it licencing to be a club? I mean, if it is a public house it does not have the right to charge for entry under the licensing rules for pubs. I think. Again, a complaint/enquiry to Southwark Council should help.

IF you can get past their CallCentreFromHell!

I was there on friday and i have to say that at around 10pm the back half of the garden is closed off

but according to MADWORLD74 rough bunch is a bit over the top i would say that i had a good evening and its a friendly enviroment and i have not witnessed any form of trouble.


Yes is it around a residental area but who gave them a late licence??? (the council)

the question isn't whether they have rough people or not....it's whether they have a license to offer what they do in the form of charging for entry to a public house or whether they are now some sort of nightclub.


i can't remember being consulted....so if there's a lot of noise from people spilling out this weekend, l'll be sure to raise it with southwark and see if my concerns have any grounds....

Woody, I just found this on the Southwark Council webpage http://licensing.southwarksites.com/LicPremisesGrantedDetails.asp?systemkey=11388


The have a late nigh refreshment license until 5am everyday...... dancing 24hrs a day inside. What W*nker at the council granted this????

Maybe someone who recognises the right of people to enjoy themselves despite the grumblings of NIMBY local residents.


If you can't deal with a bit of noise now and again, why are you living in one of the world's biggest and busiest cities? I suggest you should go and stagnate in your cardigan and slippers somewhere in Zone 6.

jrussel is perhaps one of the a*seholes screaming "come over here and l'll kick the f*cking sh*t out of you" 100m away from my bedroom at a nightbus stop at 3:30 in the morning


creating a bit of noise now and again is absolutely fine....until it's taken to an extreme and it impinges upon others.....having to endure it every friday & saturday night ain't my idea of occasional....


perhaps jrussel otherwise belongs to the "talk to the hand cos the face ain't listening" brigade......ORRRR....it's actually Kevin the owner in disguise

As Woodys post reveals, they are not a 'pleasant' crowd. Tiger Ranks, maybe having a pie and a pint and then a fight is your idea of a good night out? Because the crowds that frequent the HoiPoloi are rough. Rough with a capital R.

SWEET LORD!!!!!! YOU PEOPLE!!!!


Has anyone thought to go see the manager of the pub or even arrange a residents meeting with the manager in his pub to talk about the noise??????


Surely that would be your first move before involving the council and trying to destroy someones livelyhood!!!!!!

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
