I have also seen this addressed as in Lee. This is the only pub located in Grove Park town centre. A fire in 2009 which someone said was caused by a firebomb, (unconfirmed) caused significant damage to the building. Twenty firefighters from Downham, Lee Green and Bromley fire stations battled the flames for more than two hours before getting it under control. Luckily no one was hurt. As you can see from the 2018 photos, fire damage to the panelling was not replaced but rather cleaned up and left in situ to create a charred/faded grandeur style decor. This was more or less how it looked until the pub closed down during the early pandemic of 2000. There was hope that it would reopen but that never transpired. Luckily it has Grade II listed status, not least because of the unstinting efforts of The Baring Trust, The Victorian Society, and many local people. Applications for demolition have been unsuccessful. Closed due to covid and as of July 2021 the pub remains closed with no re-opening date known. Lewisham's licence register indicated the premises licence had been suspended for non-payment of annual fee. Antic, the owners, have previously stated that they were relying on gaining planning permission for a residential development on part of the car-park to make their investment in this pub viable. The latest news we could find is that as of July 2023 the new owner said he wished to restore the building to once again be used as a public house, stating that there was enormous potential but that the project would be challenging. In a statement the two directors of The Baring Trust said: “The pub has survived two world wars, the Wall Street Crash of 1929, two pandemics, two fires and 14 years of various owners trying to knock it down or develop for houses.” Info Credit: Bromley Newshopper / The Baring Trust.
