🚨 Closed Today: Tues 26th May 🚨
Unfortunately, due to the extreme weather we will not be open today. This is not a decision I take lightly but it is for the overall wellbeing of the team (nevermind the beer!).
See you from Wednesday onwards!

We are now building momentum to try & purchase the freehold of the pub as a community-owned pub.
Please fill in this questionnaire about the pubs role in the community, as it helps provide evidence for us to access grants to do so!

Much as I personally despise this platform, here's some of the beer for this weekend in South London's finest:
@thornbridge x @OakhamAles American Pale
@burningskybeer Inclination

@thethreelegs Pale No. 3; Schwarzbier

Today is the last day to make representations to the Planning Inspectorate to challenge those wanting to bulldoze the pub and replace it with a new build set of flats
Help save a South London Locam.
Pub lovers, unite to preserve a vital community asset

‼️Pub at risk‼️Save The Trafalgar SW19‼️ It’s not too late to object. The freeholder has lodged an appeal with The Planning Inspectorate (re: APP/T5720/W/25/3368173) re refusal of Planning Application LPA ref: 24/P1338. Object before 22 Aug. acp.planninginspectorate.gov…

@TrafalgarSW19 Just a few days until the 22nd Aug deadline to submit representations to the planning inspectorate. This most precious asset of our community threatened by greed. Link here:

Read about the fight to save the pub and why it is so important to keep community assets here, by @H_Galliven1 in @myldn: mylondon.news/news/south-lon… featuring some of our Jola and some of our superb locals
Thrilled to receive notice this morning that after this application was rescinded, amended, re-submitted and then rejected with a 34 page report from the planning committee, that our landlords have gone for the route of appeal to the Secretary of State to try and shove it through
Honestly, I just don't get how you could want to butcher this local space for the sake of four flats? I am so tired of fighting against the forces of speculation that have no connection to our community. I know it's all about the money...but this place is magic. Undeniable magic.

I only recently visited the Trafalgar in Merton for the first time (when making that video on London cider pubs) but instantly saw how special it was.
Shameful that anyone would consider removing what appeared to me to be the heart and soul of the neighbourhood.
You know what's really fucked? The various applications, amendments or whatever have always come through within weeks of us paying our quarterly rent. It feels like we're being laughed at. Paying for our own demise. A really shit kind of Damoclean/Sisyphean hybrid of doom.
Setting the Pace for Friday, a glorious couple of pints of @DalesideBrewery
