The Star of Greenwich faces permanent closure after their landlord called in £50,000 in rent arrears.
A community-run pub in south-east London has been forced to close after their landlord called in "longstanding" rent arrears amounting to more than £50,000.
"For the last 18 months, myself, James, and Lisa have worked tirelessly, taking no money, no profit, or anything like that from the business to keep the Star alive," she told BBC London.Ms Dunlop said the pub had become a "community asset" for people living in east Greenwich and the venue was used for language classes, pop-up dining events led by refugee chefs, family playgroups and support for refugees.
There had been hopes of fundraising to purchase the building as well as applying for money from the government's community ownership fund. A MHCLG spokesperson said: "We recognise uncertainty is challenging for groups seeking to save vital community assets. The government is carefully considering all available options and will confirm plans in due course."Ms Dunlop said the repayment plan offered by Greenwich Hospital was originally agreed to expire in January 2024 but extensions requested by the pub management were granted.
