In 2015, a 100-year-old pub in London, the Carlton Tavern, was illegally demolished by developers. As a result, they were ordered to rebuild it brick by brick. Notably, the Carlton Tavern was the only building on its street that survived the Blitz during World War II.
The Carlton Tavern is a pub located in Kilburn, London. It was originally built in 1921 but was illegally demolished in 2015 by the developer CLTX, based in Tel Aviv, who did not obtain the required planning permission. As a result, Westminster City Council ordered the pub to be reconstructed. The Carlton Tavern reopened its doors on April 12, 2021.
