The Ivy House

The Ivy House is a Grade II listed public house at 40 Stuart Road, Nunhead, London. [1]

It was designed by the architect A. E. Sewell in the 1930s for Truman's Brewery. [1] Opening in October 1938, the new building replaced an earlier pub which had existed since the 1860s.

It was originally known as the Newlands Tavern, and has many original features including a curved bar and timber panelled walls. It was one of the major pub music venues in South London during the mid-1970s pub rock boom, with acts including Ian Dury, Elvis Costello, Joe Strummer and Dr. Feelgood. The pub was later renamed the Stuart Arms, before becoming The Ivy House. It is listed by Southwark London Borough Council as an asset of community value. [2] It was the first building in the UK to make use of this new initiative. Subsequently it became London's first community-owned pub.

The Ivy House has been used as a set for many films including the 2015 Kray Brothers biopic Legend .

In recent years the Ivy House has once again emerged as a live music venue, with notable acts such as Goat Girl, caroline, Kiran Leonard, Darren Hayman and The Monochrome Set taking to the stage. [3]
