Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
The Duke of Edinburgh pub, 83 Mayes Road N22 6TN
This pub has been subject to extensive unauthorised alterations and converted to a Lebanese restaurant. Haringey Council were notified of the lack of planning permission for this change of use in November 2020. They visited the premises and confirmed the unauthorised change of use, but gave the owners two opportunities to submit a retroactive planning application, which has now been made:
This is likely to end (as with the Nelson pub) with a stand-off with Haringey Council and the owners trying to exploit Haringey’s reluctance to initiate legal proceedings in defence of its own planning regulations. Nonetheless, we’ve all seen the loss of too many pubs in the area, and the detrimental effect of the lack of planning enforcement in Wood Green, so it’s ‘Once More into the Breach, Dear Friends, Once More!’ and OBJECT!

There is also the 'use it or lose it' factor that sees the demise of pubs like this. When the Green Dragon in Winchmore Hill closed (probably about the only interesting place in N21) objections flooded in by the thousand. Sadly, few of these objectors bought a drink there maybe apart from half a best bitter at Christmas, it is now a Waitrose.
The only real hope is that places like this are bought up by gastro-chains, anathema to some I know but often an improvement or better than them going to other uses, and let restaurants be part of our high roads.
