This Pub is Permanently Closed
Former Whitbread pub converted to a fancy French restaurant called 'La Chaumiere'. Yet another loss of an historic pub in the 'Royal' Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, this one dating from 1761. Grade II listed building status did not prevent its conversion, demonstrating the weakness of the planning system to safeguard our pub heritage from greedy pub groups intent on asset stripping. Would the Parisiens tolerate the conversion of one of their premier gastronomic restaurants into a mock British pub? - I think not!
Already reported as converted to restaurant, was renamed ‘Cheyne Walk Brasserie’. Now No.50 Cheyne.
