It is great that I can actually share good news in these COVID-19 Crisis times, and which I first wrote about regarding the Carlton Tavern in Maida Vale NW5 5EU, six years ago, with an update in 2019 (blog), about how developers had demolished the building without planning permission, and had been ordered to rebuild the public house by Westminster Council. Well, I spotted a further update in an article in the CAMRA February 2021 What's Brewing, which is supported by a recent online article on the Hampstead Highgate Express website, and many thanks to them for the image above too (slightly edited).
The good news is that it looks like the Carlton Tavern will be reopening soon, hopefully March/April, lockdown allowing, under the stewardship of Homegrown Pubs and 2 'local lads' (Tom Rees and Ben Martin) who have wide relevant experience in the trade. They're planning to use local sources, eg local breweries for their ales, and applications are in for licences etc. For more information go to the facebook page Rebuild The Carlton Tavern, nice one! ✌
