our story
Cast your mind back to the odd year that was 2016. It was the same year two friends from South London took their love for the great British pub and gave it a refresh. After asking what it means to be a Local in today’s London, with its mix of ideas and cultures, we took it back to basics – tasty homemade food, music that’s as well chosen as the beer, family get-togethers, and fun times shared with friends.

It’s the people that make a place great, and we’re on a mission to bring people together. We work with local partners and producers to champion the blue borough of Lewisham and strive to do our bit to help the environment. Feeling at home while you’re with us is our numero uno. It’s what we do.

friends of parlez
Lewisham has a lot to shout about when it comes to putting culture at the heart of communities. We’re proud to be part of it and we’re lucky to be able to work with utterly fantastic people, who do utterly brilliant things. Here’s a few of our favourite folks who make us proud to be part of the Blue Borough.
