Currently up for sale on Rightmove, these businesses could offer any would-be buyers the chance to take on a new business venture in Lewisham, which is well known for its popular pubs, cafes, and restaurants.
Crofton Park Tavern
Address: 330-332 Brockley Road, London, SE4 2BT
Guide Price: £1,750,000
Located just opposite Crofton Park railway station, Crofton Park Tavern is a mid-terrace four-storey pub that has been part of the community since 2005.
Formerly known as Jam Circus, the venue reopened under the ownership of Mosaic Pubs in June 2019 following a major refurbishment post-fire damage.
Some of its key features are its large split-level bar area, commercial kitchen and cellar and its rear trade garden.
The pub also offers four self-contained, two-bedroom flats for anyone looking to live above the business or rent them out to tenants.
The pub was also previously featured in the CAMRA guide, giving it plenty of potential for its next chapter.
Ravensbourne Arms
Address: 323 Lewisham High Street, London SE13 6NR
Asking Price: £700,000
Formerly the Coach & Horses, the Ravensbourne Arms has undergone several renovations over the years.
The pub closed in 2016 and the site was earmarked by local collective Sister Midnight for transformation into a community-owned music and cultural venue, raising £260k to save it from being turned into housing.
The pub still remains up for sale, offering 308 sqm of ground floor space, with an additional 143 sqm basement, providing a blank canvas for any would-be buyers.
The venue is situated within the heart of Lewisham, just a short distance from Ladywell, Hither Green and Lewisham train stations, and is up for sale with a 125-year lease.

Address: 302 Brockley Road, London SE4 2RA
Offers Over £65,000 (Lease Premium)
Rent: £21,000 p.a. | Business rates: Approx. £3,500 p.a.
Ganoush Lebanese Grill offers a fully operational business with plenty of footfall in the Brockley area.
The business started five years ago in 2020, serving a menu of Lebanese dishes, with a 4-star rating on Google.
Any would-be owner would be taking on the business with an A3/A5 license with a new 15-year lease available.
The restaurant also offers both indoor and outdoor seating, a coffee and juice bar, and fully fitted kitchen, with parking, a cold room, basement and two offices.
The new owner could explore growing the revenue of the business by extending hours, applying for an alcohol licence, or exploring catering and event offerings.
