This Pub is Closed Long Term

Don't be put off by the name! This unusual pub is a sight to be beholden, being located down a short well lit alley opposite Canadian Avenue. The former Conservative Club closed in 1996 and re-opened in November 2013 retaining many original features. The single bar and restaurant area features a large chandelier hanging from the bare rafters. A quirky assortment of old furniture, pictures, framed Private Eye covers and mirrors creates a unique atmosphere which could be described as “shabby-chic”. Weekly pub quiz on Tuesday, there are monthly comedy events and film nights are held on the last Sunday of each month. Open mic nights every Monday. Baronial style staircase leads to the upstairs toilets and to a further seating area which opened in June 2014. 6 handpumps. Seems always to be a work in progress.

** A comprehensive renovation of the property is currently underway and the building is due to reopen as a pub and community/events space in late 2025/early 2026. **

Historic Interest

The property has a mix of architectural styles/features, comprising Georgian and Victorian buildings plus a 1950s extension. The, locally-listed, Georgian former Elmwood farmhouse dates from 1736 and is believed to be the oldest remaining building in Catford. It is one of only a handful of properties in Lewisham borough with an M-shaped roof profile typical of farmhouses of the Georgian period. The late Victorian addition consists of a two-storey wing and a single storey large hall. From around the early 20th century until the mid-1990s the property housed the Catford Conservative Club. Having then remained vacant for an extended period, the Georgian part in particular fell into serious disrepair. In 2013 the other parts of the property were reopened as a pub, known as the Catford Constitutional Club, until its closure in 2019. In 2021 planning permission was granted for a multi-£million renovation and refurbishment of the whole property, as part of a wider town centre regeneration framework. The outer shell of the Georgian building was retained and repaired, with a new internal timber support structure inserted, resulting in the loss of most of the original interior. The remaining elements of the property were refurbished without material alterations being undertaken.
