The Favourite

The Favourite was a pub at 27 St Anns Road, Holland Park, London W11, that closed in 2011. A pub had existed on the site since at least 1879. The building was demolished and replaced by a six-storey block of studio flats around 2012.

History

[edit]

It was originally called the Duke of Sussex and dated back to at least 1879, and the street itself was previously known as Latimer Road.[1] It was rebuilt some time after World War II. The pub closed in 2011.[2][3] It had been owned by Enterprise Inns, and before that by Watney Combe & Reid.

Demolition

[edit]

The building was listed for sale by AG&G ("one of the UK’s leading specialists in licensed leisure property"[4]) for offers "in excess of £1,800,000".[5]

In May 2012, it was being marketed by Goldcrest Land plc for £2.2–2.4 million, with a "Full Detailed Planning Application" having been made for a "six storey building comprising 84 student housing studios" plus a retail unit on the ground floor.[6]

The pub was demolished, and the site is now occupied by Yara Central, Holland Park, student accommodation in studio flats for 84 students, owned by Yara Capital.[7] Rents range from £14,200 to £15,300 per year.[7]
