EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the quintessential charm of the Swiss Tavern in Peckham, London, as it stood in the 1950s. The image, taken from an angle on the corner of the pub, showcases its distinctive red brick facade adorned with ornate white detailing and the iconic "Swiss Tavern" sign. The pub, which was located at 131 Rye Lane, Peckham, SE15 2HU, was a beloved local watering hole that drew patrons with its warm and inviting atmosphere. The back of the print reveals the trading record for the Swiss Tavern, detailing its operation from 1938 to 1961. The pub was a part of the Charrington and Company Limited, a well-known brewery in London during the mid-20th century. However, by 1951, the Swiss Tavern had closed its doors and was eventually converted into a block of flats. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich history of pub culture in Peckham and London as a whole. The Swiss Tavern may no longer exist, but its legacy lives on through images like this one, which evoke memories of a time when local pubs were the heart of their communities.
