Waltham Forest Council have now ordered that the changes to the building be reversed as they were carried out without planning permission.
Colin Price (January 2021)
 
There has been a promising development regarding the Antelope. Having failed with their development plans, the owners are apparently willing to lease out the building as a pub. A group of local residents have shown a serious interest in taking the lease and creating a not-for-profit community pub. There is however a long way to go, especially given the state of the building, but let’s wish them luck

Kath Daniel 1959/1976 My father, Michael Holman, was the licensee of The Antelope until he died in 1971. My mother, Molly Holman took over the license until 1976, she was one of the first female licensees. A very successful pub. Tenancy agreement with Taylor Woodford, who were taken over by Ind Coope. Originally three bars: saloon, men had to wear a tie, public, and the snug, ladies only. A piano player and a drummer at weekends, customers did a turn.
