A planning application submitted to the City of London would, if successful, see the existing pub and an adjoining building demolished and replaced with a new block. Although it only dates from the 1950s, the existing pub, which has connections to the Worshipful Company of Gardeners, is a distinctive and attractive building. It is independently-operated and its demolition would almost certainly see the existing business extinguished. Space for a new pub is included in the new plans but experience demonstrates that such plans do not always come to fruition.

Sadly, the City of London gave permission for the development which will see the demolition of the St Brides Tavern in Blackfriars. Our sympathy goes to the licensees who have lived and worked there for 17 years. A new pub should appear in two years or so.
