This Sunday apparently. Company that runs it Antic had just said it is closing it. <div><br></div><div>No more news beyond that on what will happen.</div><div><br></div><div>That is a real shame. It has been a great improvement on the larrik</div>
Antic went into administration but was bought out by a new company. They're trading as Antic London. <br><br>I can't see a place with the size and position of Stapleton staying empty for long. Hopefully it'll be a new lease of life for the place.<br>
Antic pubs were bought by a company set up by an ex-Antic director. So looked like a bit of a tactical administration.. Have a look at the back of the Camra London Drinker Summer Edition (no, really!) and all Antic's are shown as purchased by the new company after administration. <div><br></div><div>Agree that it lost a lot of it's feel after the original managers left. Spent many a night there just after it re-opened as Stapleton when it was completely deserted. </div>
<a href="http://www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/Company-City-News/Pub-firm-Antic-Ltd-collapsed-owing-2.6m">Antic collapse and buyout from Morning Advertiser</a><div><br></div><div>If the company and assets were bought for £1.2m and the assets include the freehold buildings then they got a good deal on the property.</div><div><br></div><div>Not sure whether the that is the case though.</div>
