Fast forward 70 years into modern day London. Property prices have soared and the sustainability of pubs has been declining sharply. The Carlton Tavern’s building owners CLTX decided to sell the property to a developer who were planning to turn the institution into a block of flats. However, the necessary planning permission was never obtained. In April 2015, the developer decided to call in the demolition team regardless and the Carlton Tavern was partially pulled down.

Rob Cope was a part is the Rebuild the Carlton Tavern campaign group who quickly mobilised to protest the decision of the developer to pull down the building, the group eventually won a landmark judgement ordering the Tavern to be rebuilt brick-by-brick. Rob joins Jason on today’s episode to discuss in detail the chain of events that led up to and followed on from April 2015 which will culminate in the pub being reopened next week after 6 long years.
