The Ivy House Foundation is very pleased to be able to donate £1000 to Little Village HQ - London Baby Banks, whose baby banks continue to make huge and tangible changes to parents lives across London.

Little Village makes a big difference to families with babies and young children living in poverty across London. Via their network of baby banks they pass on great quality items from one family to another – clothes, toys and equipment – so that many more babies and young children have the essential things they need to thrive. 

A pleasure as always to welcome Claire Sheppard, Mayor of Southwark, to the pub yesterday as we make the donation official!

You can find more information on Little Village at littlevillagehq.org.

The Ivy House Presents another incredible show here on Friday August 28th, where we’ll be joined by Kiran Leonard, Jennifer Walton and Another Country $$$$ a week before they all head to Dorset to play 2026.

Kiran Leonard’s unique and ambitious body of work spans more than a decade of frenetic noise rock, ornate avant-folk, DIY no-fi, and everything in between. Renowned for the range and intensity of his live performances, his current live group features members of caroline and Shovel Dance Collective.

Jennifer Walton is a London-based musician whose debut album Daughters explores grief, memory and surreal Americana. She’s also known for her work with Cryalot, Microplastics, Iceboy Violet, BABii, and remixes for Metronomy.

Another Country $$$$ are a Manchester-based audio-visual duo, born through the city’s experimental dance underbelly- combining shape-shifting electronic production, live drums and visuals. They craft blistering hybrid sets that fuse dub, jungle, DnB, garage, noise and hyperpop with a haunting cinematic edge.

Will be a movie.
