Rileys (former Temperance Billiard Hall), 233-241, Lewisham High Street SE13 - Lewisham

A temperance billiard hall built 1909-10, originally incorporating a café, lounge and shops. Listed as a well-surviving example of an uncommon building type. The building had been empty for a number of years and was showing signs of neglect. Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent were granted in 2017 for conversion to a church, with associated changes to restore and change parts of the building. All structural refurbishment and reconstruction and part of the internal works were completed in 2021, with the intention to start the final remaining works in 2025.
