Within the tough urban environment of Victorian London, the city’s pubs offered decorative oases of rest and indulgence, especially soft in the snug bars to be found in the Princess Louise in Holborn and other such pubs. Here the same sense of material and decoration is reused to design places of drinking in contemporary London. But now the focus is on adapting the Carlton Tavern in Kilburn, which was in the process of being illegally demolished by developers until the local community fought back. A series of pavilions create lounges, games rooms and a microbrewery with framed views back to the partially demolished older pub.
