Livelyhood Pub Group has secured a sixth site in south London.
It has acquired late-night DJ bar Gigalum, on Cavendish Parade in Clapham South, which will close at the end of this month and will reopen after a refurbishment in February as The Perky Nel.
The pub, which overlooks the Common, will be a sister-site to The Clapham North. It will feature a 100-cover bar and dining space and front garden terrace, and will continue Livelyhood’s tradition of having a dedicated sports area with giant screens to show the latest games.
Sarah Wall, CEO, LIvelyhood Pubs, commented: “Having fallen in love with Clapham when we opened The Clapham North we’ve been keeping an eye out for a sister site in the area ever since and have finally found the ideal home for Nel.
“We’re really excited to be opening in such a prime spot beside the common and are very proud to have such an iconic site as part of our portfolio.”
The independent pub group also has sites in Balham, Wimbledon, Streatham and Crystal Palace.
