Sir Henry Cooper lived in pub ahead of Muhammad Ali fight, while Eric Clapton and Fleetwood Mac played gigs there

The Fellowship Inn

A pub in South-east London where legendary boxer Sir Henry Cooper lived before his fight with Muhammad Ali is set to be renovated after being awarded planning permission, listed building consent and 拢4m in lottery funding.

Plans for The Fellowship Inn, the venue where Eric Clapton and Fleetwood Mac also played gigs early in their careers, include a community pub, a cinema, a theatre/performance venue, a live music hub with rehearsal spaces, a coffee shop and a micro-brewery.

Designed by architects Thomas Ford & Partners and project managed by consultant Pellings, the restoration works are due to be completed in 2018.
