The Ivy House

PubLocals' pick

London's first pub listed as an Asset of Community Value under the Localism Act: locals raised about GBP 1 million in 2012 to buy it as a co-op. The 1930s Truman's pub keeps three rooms and a stage in the Hall where Joe Strummer, Ian Dury and Jeff Beck played in the 1970s.
