When the landlord called time on the residents living in The Rising Sun, they decided to try to buy the building
For the seven people living in The Rising Sun, a former pub in south-east London, eviction has been a constant threat.
When Tom Stiedl, a nightclub manager and DJ, moved in three years ago, the hulking ex-Truman’s pub had already been listed at £1.2m, advertised as an opportunity to develop flats between fast-changing Peckham and New Cross. But the group lived contentedly in the building, which was divided into individual rooms with a common kitchen, living area and workshop.
