According to their web site Antic are planning opening unspecified pubs in Harlesden and Willesden Green, arguably the worst drinking area in the whole of Greater London. Spoons opened the Coliseum back in the 90s but gave up on it and I remember also going to a grotty Fuller's pub called the Green Man. I can't think of a pub with any merit whatsoever in the Willesden Green area,
I hope that one of them might be the Royal Oak - a run-down pub which still has some interesting features and one that somebody with a bit of imagination could do a decent job with.
I've never been in it, I always assumed it was an Irish pub. It is certainly an impressive building, but does Harlesden have tbe market for an Antic pub? I haven't been there for two or three years.
Two more Antic pubs in SW London closed in February (Provenance, Colliers Wood and Kings Head, Clapham, following close on the heels of the Battersea Mess and Music Hall, and with The Wheatsheaf at Tooting Bec under serious threat. It doesn't really pay to get too attached to their pubs in my part of the world. They seem to be taking these short leases from the big boys, I suspect in the knowledge that they won't be long lived establishments in some cases. Just babysitting them some might say. But most are reasonable places while they are with us - at least they do good beer.
