Woolwich pub bombing
The pub was bombed by the Provisional Irish Republican Army in 1974, with two deaths.[2]
Redevelopment
On 3 April 2017, a London-based real estate development company, P2P Residential Limited acquired the site for £1.2m.[citation needed] On 17 April 2018, the company obtained full planning permission to demolish the pub and redevelop it as 19 residential units, nine parking spaces and a replacement pub across the ground floor and basement.[3]
Similar plans had been proposed in 2013;[2] permission was granted in 2015 for 12 residential units and a pub, but the then owner did not implement the consent.
