Kentish Town pub battles to stay open

Posted by news desk in Local News, 22nd July 2008, 2:46pm

A campaign has been launched to stop a popular Kentish Town pub from being turned into flats.

Landlord of The Torriano on Torriano Avenue, Dean Guberina, is fighting to save his pub from being closed down. Regulars at The Torriano have rallied to save the pub. Thousands have signed a petition and hundreds have written personal letters demanding the pub remains open.

In a bid to keep neighbours on side, Mr Guberina withdrew an application to extend opening hours at the pub after a number of objections from residents.

Kentish Town's Lib Dem councillor Ralph Scott is also trying to save the pub.

Developers Spaces UK, which owns the freehold, have lodged a bid with Camden Council to turn the two floors above the pub into apartments.
