AN HISTORIC pub is set to become an Italian restaurant after planning permission was granted to eatery chain Prezzo on Friday (June 29).
The Bull on the Green in Chingford will now become another of Prezzo’s many outlets after standing for more than 120 years as a pub.
The Bull on the Green has been a pub since the 1880s, when it traded as The Crown, before the pub was knocked down and replaced by the current building in 1910.
In recent years the pub has struggled to step out of the shadow of its past as the Bull and Crown, which was owned by different management.
The Bull and Crown was closed by police for nearly a year following a drug raid in July 2009.
Its current owner, Atlantic Housing, was recently granted permission to convert the first, second and third floors of the building into offices.
