Limetree Care Home in Brixton has unveiled its newly renovated pub, The Lambeth Arms.

The Excelcare home aims to bring the outside world into the care home and create different environments where residents have the opportunity to engage in their favourite pastimes and visit different settings without leaving the comfort of their home.

Limetree resident Peggy, who spent more than 35 years of her life as the landlady of a local pub in Vauxhall, was eager to explore the space and relive memories. She will act as landlady at the Lambeth Arms, serving drinks to residents and teaching the team about running a successful pub.

Peggy’s daughter Carole said: “Inviting us to explore a space that holds special significance for my Mum who spent over 35 years as a licensee, is truly touching. Walking through the Lambeth Arms not only brought back cherished memories for her but also allowed us to appreciate the effort and care that has been put into creating a space that fosters joy and community spirit for all residents.”
