Park Tavern

The Park Tavern

The Park Tavern on Elder Road SE27 9ND has been a pub since 1867.

Developers now want to turn it into 5 flats – four 2-bed room flats & one 1-bedroom flat.

Lambeth has a policy of keeping pubs as important community asset. However if the developer can prove the business is no longer viable  a change of use can be considered.  See policy ED8 in the Local Plan.

The Park Tavern was rebuilt in the 1920’s and is also part of the Elderwood Conservation area since 1976.

To see details and comment on the planning application use ref:  20/01945 at Lambeth’s planning portal .

Jean & Jenny

Jean & Jenny

University of the Third Age is run by volunteers and is a marvellous opportunity for retired and semi-retired people to come together and learn, not for qualifications but for the pleasure of learning and chance to make new friends.

West Norwood has its own U3A branch that meets every third Wednesday of the month after lunch at The Park Tavern at 56 Elder Road, SE27 9ND
All new members will get a warm welcome. Contact Jean or Jenny http://u3asites.org.uk/code/u3asite.php?site=403&page=4
