Celebrating a third place: The Star of Greenwich

A community-owned pub, a not-for-profit social hub

Today we hear from James Gadsby-Peet about a very special pub, the Star of Greenwich, in south London. James explains how he and his partners found a way to save a historical British "local" and make it a third place for the 21st century - a new-style public house (pub is short for public house). He says "the superpower of third places is to help you meet people you wouldn't normally spend time with and to build your view of the world and your experience and your empathy for those people."
