Last week planning permission was granted by Lambeth councillors to turn the derelict( near Wolfington Road junction) shop at 13-19 Knights Hill into a new pub.
Max Alderman of Antic Ltd (www.antic-ltd.com ) says it will be called Knowle’s of Norwood after the name of the original shop on the site. Knowle’s of Norwood will be a day and evening, family friendly, bar and restaurant similar to Jam Circus in Brockley – another area in south London popular with families.
The pub is expected to open in late February/March 2010 . The next step is to apply to Lambeth council for a licence which will be advertised for 28 days and then be decided at a meeting of the Licensing Committee. Watch this web site for details.
oh my god i am sooo excited, its about time there was a nice bar in West Norwood. Think there will be a lot of people happy there will be a place to go nearby. Hope they do a good job with it
Totally exciting! West Norwood is crying out for somewhere nice to hang out of an evening.
Erm… Still waiting for this pub… thought they said it would be opening in March? I have a sneaking suspicion it won’t be happening. Please tell me I’m wrong! West Norwood high street is bereft of anything decent to go to in the evening. Come on West Norwood!
