Rumour has it a new bar and restaurant is opening on the site of the former Clayton Arms in Peckham, this coming bank holiday.

Little information beyond this, but the people behind the project run two other bars 'The Doll's House', Islington and 'The Dead Doll's Club', Bethnal Green. Does anyone have any further information on this? Would be great to see this derelict sad hostelry brought back to life again.

It's good that it's not the Bellenden area (again).


The Nigel Rd end of Peckham has recently had a makeover with two new cafes, a bar/restaurant, an organic shop etc.


Now it's the turn of Queens Rd. Up by the station there are also new shops including a Blackbird bakery & South American restaurant/takeaway. It has smartened up the area and a really nice pub will make such a difference. It's just what that part of Peckham needs.

I dunno. I think what that part of Peckham really needs is something inclusive and grounded... not some daft "buy a bottle of spirits for ?100 and sit in the pretentious members area all night" set-up. But what do I know... these guys are businessmen and presumably know their shit...

What put the locals off the old place? Surely if it was 'spit & sawdust' they wanted then it wouldn't be closing down due to lack of custom? Or was it too far the other way?

Wasn't suggesting spit and sawdust, but surely there's a happy medium between that and VIP lounges?


I can't actually open the article on work computer, so just going by this thread.

My gut feeling is that after a few months they'll ditch the whole membership/VIP stuff. They need to pitch it to the local market.


If they're open late and do studenty club nights then they might do well. Coupled with pub grub and sunday roasts for a bit of daytime trade.

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
