The Trafalgar Arms on Tooting High Street is a historic and popular pub used by local residents and community groups, but has recently been bought by a property developer and closed.
We have lost several pubs and bars in Tooting in recent years, so the loss of the Trafalgar Arms would leave us with just one pub in this part of the community. Several new blocks of flats have been built nearby in recent years, and no doubt the developers wish to do the same on the Trafalgar site, but it is crucial that some local amenities are kept so that Tooting remains a fun and vibrant place to live. Any development should retain a pub on the site.
To protect the pub, we have applied to Wandsworth Council to list the Trafalgar Arms as a Community Asset.
We are officially launching the campaign to save the Trafalgar Arms at the last remaining pub in the area - The Manor at 196 Tooting High Street, starting 8pm. We would be delighted to see you there!
