I've not been in and seen any of the regulars I know since I spotted the notice. I put it out on Twitter and had a few people say they're gutted but also some people say its a good thing which has narked me somewhat.
Not surprised, I often hear plenty of people complaining about the pub...especially people that have never actually been in there
I know plenty of people like that. Whoever runs the twitter for the Leigham Well said "as a real Streatham pub I say hooray". I hadn't realised the Tringham was an imaginary pub...
Spoons have been disposing of loads of their pubs recently. they are trying to get rid of one in Mitcham as well as the Crown and Sceptre
Quite possibly. Depends if it needs a lot doing to it - its forever leaking if there is heavy rain. The Crown and Sceptre needs something like £2mil spent on it to get it to a reasonable standard which is why they're looking to sell it.
It's a real shame about the Crown and Spectre at the top of Streatham Hill. I have always had a soft spot for that pub. I am by no means a regular, but do pop in from time to time. It's a great pub to go to when the weather is nice, I popped in there on Saturday. Always a good mixed crowd in there.

I am quite looking forward to checking this place out. I like that it is a truly independent arts space and that they seem to be making a concerted effort to put on local talent. From the pics I have seen on Instagram, it looks like a really nice space too. It will be interesting to see how varied their programme is once they get fully up and running.
To appease Streatham Nationalists on this thread- the *victim* of this crime was from Streatham. The guilty duo were from Mitcham and Carshalton.
Having chipped in the princely sum of £50 as a Crowdfunder for two free tickets and a tin badge, I was invited to last night's party. It is looking pretty good now that the fit out is almost complete. The main "black box" theatre space is ready to host most kinds of event, and the studio space opening onto the bar and foyer looks flexible for music gigs - it might need a bit of fine tuning of the acoustics through a bit of extra wood and soft furnishing.

My daughter goes to school in Streatham and says she knows of the people involved. She thinks the boy who was stabbed was intervening to protect one of the girls??
Shit! I hadn’t noticed the knife until you highlighted it. It’s a significant blade. I hope they throw the fuckers in gaol. I’m not sure how the older guy with the same surname has got involved. Has he taken the knife away to protect a son?
Really disturbing. There is footage of it here Schoolgirl fights off two knifemen after boy, 16, is stabbed in Streatham | Metro News
Astonishing courage from the two uniformed school kids, probably saved an attempted murder from becoming a murder.

If it's anything like this place then it's reminiscent of a 90's Megadog afterparty. Home - Magic Garden Pub ETA when you've run out of drugs
