"While we're modernising the space and adding an extra room, we'll remain true to our roots and continue to build on our reputation as a legendary grassroots venue."
"The revamp was approved by Wandsworth Council in 2023, with planning documents explaining that the move would 'reinvigorate the public house, improving its popularity and customer base, and ultimately securing its long-term viability'."
"The pub has existed in its current form since 1903 and began hosting live music in 1963, smack-bang in the heyday of British invasion bands such as The Rolling Stones, The Who and The Small Faces, all of whom have performed at the 250-capacity venue."
The Half Moon in Putney, established in 1903 and hosting live music since 1963, is reopening after a major refurbishment that began in January. The venue, with a 250-capacity, has hosted iconic British rock bands including The Rolling Stones, The Who, and The Small Faces. Located near Putney Bridge overlooking the Thames, the renovation includes a new first-floor terrace with a retractable roof, spiral staircase, fresh paint, and new equipment for expanded food service. Wandsworth Council approved the revamp in 2023, recognizing it would secure the venue's long-term viability. Events are scheduled from April 4, beginning with rock'n'roll singer Laurie Wright performing during an Oxford and Cambridge boat race celebration.
