This Pub is Permanently Closed

Now demolished, this former pub closed at the end of March 2018, having been refurbished and re-opened in June 2013. It was sold to the London Property Group Ltd in January 2019 for redevelopment into apartments.

Emergency demolition carried out on 12th June 2025 after becoming unstable during redevelopment building work:

According to Bromley Council:

"This demolition work is an absolute last resort, with our structural engineers advising that the building has become even more unstable and is now dangerous."

Previously, planning permission had now been granted by Bromley Council for conversion of the pub into flats: 23/00267/FULL2

Historic Interest

Built in the early 1860s as a hotel and public house to serve the expanding suburb of Anerley, with new housing being built on what was once Penge Common. Located adjacent to the entrance to Betts Park (which originally opened in 1928 and contains a short stretch of the abandoned Croydon Canal), this would have been a popular venue for visitors. The pub also overlooked the tram routes from Croydon to both Crystal Palace and Penge (from 1906 to 1933). In 1900 the locality was transferred from Surrey to Kent with the new county border located nearby. The pub later became a tied Courage house.
