A Camberwell pub has undergone a £200,000 revamp ahead of its weekend-long launch party featuring DJs, stilt walkers and free pizza.
The George Canning in Camberwell recently closed for three weeks but reopened with a redecorated interior, improved outdoor area and brand new TVs for watching sport, on August 23.
Punters are invited to the opening weekend where they’ll experience the “new look and feel” from Friday, September 1 to Sunday, September 3.
Pub operator Johnathon Robinson started working in pubs following stints as an academy footballer at various clubs. He said: “I am so excited to open the doors to everyone and show off the new look George Canning.
“We will have so much going on at the pub that all guests can enjoy and am particularly looking forward to partying with students on the weekend and watching matches with all the sports fans.”
On Friday, the pub will host DJ Shimia, stilt walkers and provide complimentary pizza to visitors.
On Saturday, five-piece soul band The Soul Cats will provide a night of live music.
Sunday will be family day, with the pub welcoming a live magician from 2pm, along with a face-painting stall.
The George Canning is owned by the Stonegate group, the UK’s largest pub company with over 4,500 sites.
Did they spend any of that money on reducing its carbon emissions?
