East Dulwich Tavern reopens following £1m refurbishment

Urban Pubs and Bars has announced the reopening of the East Dulwich Tavern following a £1m refurbishment programme.

The pub holds a key location on the high street, sitting proudly on the corner of Lordship Lane and Goose Green.

The extensive month-long refurbishment has delivered a main floor offering a “lively and relaxed setting”.

Furthermore, the refurbishment has opened up the upstairs area, which will now be accessible at all times via the new internal staircase.

Previously reserved exclusively for private hire, this space features its own bar and sound system offering additional seating. Private events and celebrations remain bookable, with the upstairs rooms holding space for up to 120 people.

The kitchen will serve a seasonal, fresh, menu of pub classics and specials all prepared on site daily.

The pub will continue to have a packed calendar of events including comedy nights, live music, and a weekly quiz.

The pub also maintains its close connection with Dulwich Hamlet FC, proudly sponsoring banners at the stadium.

Chris Hill, managing director of Urban Pubs and Bars, said: “The East Dulwich Tavern is a true icon of the area, and we’re incredibly excited to breathe new life into such a beloved pub. With its history, community ties, and prime location, we can’t wait to re-open the doors and welcome everyone back.”

Urban Pubs and Bars, founded by Malc Heap and Nick Pring in 2014, is backed by Davidson Kempner and Global Mutual.
