The Pigeon Hole Cafe

CO FOUNDER + DESIGNER

The Pigeon Hole is a cafe, bar and second hand furniture store in Camberwell London, founded with fellow designer Holly Steidl.

Funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign, we were responsible for the business through all stages of its development - concept and brand, design and build, marketing and management.

Working alongside the community we championed local producers, and built initiatives to help support Camberwell as a creative destination, including guest chef evenings, gallery rotations and film screenings. Additionally we partnered with local charity Y.E.S.S. (Youth Education Support Services) to provide a work experience and mentoring scheme for local students wanting to gain experience in the hospitality trade. 

During its run, The Pigeon Hole won Best Cafe in SE5 in the Time Out Love London Awards, and was featured in Elle Decor as well as on BBC radio and London Live television.

The business was sold in July 2016.
