West Green Tavern up for sale
It seems the West Green Tavern is on the market.
By the look of the details given on rightmove the pub will stay, with the opportunity to develop housing upstairs.
Does anyone local have strong feelings about what should/ should happen to the building. What would locals like to see in the area? A decent pub would be a nice addition to WGR I think!

Bring it on! My partner and I have been saying this for months!
A good pub with some decent real ales is what WGR would really benefit from.

and a cinema with a bar - that would be the ticket! If Crouch End can have 2 virtually next to each other than one within 500 yards of Turnpike Lane station should be a no brainer, lots of custom

that's the one, here's some more info from wiki
The Premier Electric, designed by the architectural firm Emden & Egan, was opened on 16 April 1910. It was built for London Picture Theatre Ltd as one of a small chain of Premier Electrics. By the time it closed in January 2003 it was the UK’s oldest operating cinema. The building still stands today on Frobisher Road by Duckett's Common.[2]
The frontage and entrance area had been designed to echo colonial India. Palm trees were scattered around the foyer to foster the colonial feel. Reporting its opening the local newspaper, theHornsey Journal, described it in glowing terms and drew attention to its "particularly handsome" entrance.
“ The Most Unique Picture Theatre in London Handsomely decorated and upholstered throughout, No expense has been spared to ensure the comfort of patrons. The very latest productions in the world of animated pictures to be seen here. The auditorium was designed in the style typical of the period with a curved and banded ceiling and proscenium arch. Seating was provided for 900 on a single floor. During the first part of its life the cinema had its own Premier Orchestra which played during all films.
