The Grove Tavern on Dulwich's Lordship Lane, a beloved local pub for nearly 100 years, has been closed since a fire in 2014. Currently leased by Stonegate, the lease is set to expire in September 2023. Local councillor Andy Simmons has been actively lobbying for its revival, stressing the community's desire for the location to be an affordable pub or restaurant. However, challenges persist following the recent closure of a nearby Wetherspoons. Alternatives discussed include transforming the site for social housing or elderly accommodation to meet local needs.
Councillor Andy Simmons stated that local residents are eager for the Grove Tavern to be revived as a pub or restaurant, although affordability remains a significant challenge.
The local community is advocating for the Grove Tavern's revival, with suggestions for it to serve as either a pub or potential social housing for the elderly.
