It was previously occupied by Beano's second-hand record shop (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beanos Wikipedia entry] and [https://www.flickr.com/photos/dannytherunner/3176641747/ a photo of it in 2009]). After Beano's closed, the building spent a short spell as an "undercover market" called Stuff <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/madfiddler/5448488035/ photo]</small>; see [https://web.archive.org/web/20100227084227/http://www.retrochick.co.uk/2010/02/24/hidden-gems-stuff-in-croydon/ Retro Chick blog post]. |
The bar operates in the evenings only, while in the daytime the space is intended for use as a cafe. As of July 2016 the owners are currently looking for a new cafe operator to replace the previous one, Buttercream Dreams. |

By July 2012 it was a child-friendly cafe and children's indoor playspace called Beanies <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/7610055784/ photo]</small>. The playspace moved to [[Beanies, Whitgift Centre|a space in the Whitgift Centre]] around the end of 2014, though the cafe continued to run. By March 2015 there was new signage up for Project B (run by the same people as Beanies). |

In February 2016 a vegan cafe called Buttercream Dreams opened in the ground floor space, though the building remained in the hands of Project B as an events company. Buttercream Dreams moved out again in June 2016. (As of July 2016 Buttercream Dreams operated as a stall on Surrey Street Market and a cafe in Camden, but both of these outlets closed down in August 2016, with the Buttercream Dreams Facebook page citing the owner's health problems as the reason.) |

As of July 2016 the ground floor was used as an evening-only bar, while the owners looked for a new daytime cafe operator to replace Buttercream Dreams. We aren't sure if the cafe ever did open again. |
