The Fellowship and Star

The Fellowship and Star is a Grade II listed pub at Randlesdown Road, Bellingham, London SE6 3BT.

The Fellowship in 2009

Built in 1923–24 and designed by the architect F. G. Newnham,[1] the pub opened as The Fellowship Inn. Under that name, it hosted gigs by bands including Fleetwood Mac and John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers,[2] and was used as both a gym and a home by boxer Henry Cooper in the run-up to his 1963 fight against Muhammad Ali.[3]

In 2018 The Fellowship Inn underwent refurbishment and redevelopment to restore the interior. It reopened in June 2019 as The Fellowship and Star, including a cinema, microbrewery, music rooms and community spaces.[4]

The pub is on Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.[1]
