Approval had been given for the creation of luxury flats, as long as the ground floor was retained as a pub. However, demolition of the building was required in June 2025 because it had become unsafe during building works. Locals are campaigning for the 'pub' to be rebuilt brick-by brick as per the original building. It was built in 1867 and was one of the last pubs in London to feature a heated rail along the bottom of the bar so that weary Londoners could prop up the bar and keep their feet warm on a winter’s night.
