Hi Tom. that is sad news, not sure I can keep up with the 'musical chairs ' management of these pubs, they were originally owned by the same group...... but do not know the details. As I only come over to the village on match days, I am not privy to the up to date details, other's on here perhaps can update. Both CAFC pubs, wish them well.

Very sad Ken - would be nice to hear from scruffle but he understandably might not feel able to tell all.
On a different note Ken - I think we might finally have some movement soon on the Invicta School memorial project - I will DM you as soon as I get firm news.

That would be great, One of my Son's trying to get into the service at the moment.
Hi guys, sadly we saw no other way than just handing the keys back, the pub needs a massive massive investment and had a lot more wrong than we were told, but that's life I guess!! Just frustrated/disappointed as started to make serious in roads with lots of community events. Just feel sorry for those guys really, a lot had never felt welcome in a pub in Charlton before and were having to travel to Greenwich or blackheath.
Was shocked to hear had been taken on by the swan guys but good luck to them, I'm just glad the pub wasn't tinned up by landlords. Now the swan is shut, (and full of squatters??!!) hopefully these guys come in and get some of the building issues sorted and push on a bit.
Sad news @scruffle - Haven't been in this week because I have been busy with a few things. I did though see the pub listed on a few estate agent sites lately. 1.5 million is an awful lot of money.

Really sorry you weren't able to take the pub forward as it so desperately needed. I'm certainly one of those that drink in Greenwich because the local pubs in Charlton just don't do it for me. White Swan is well and truly barracaded as you can see, so the squatter issue is a real one. Good luck with your other ventures.

A very sad and sorry state of affairs to the pubs at the top of Charlton. Wont be many places left to drink soon enough.

Well & truly barracaded ? I don't think so. A few squatters could move them in 5 minutes.
