We at Time Out were utterly bereft when the very good McGlynn’s closed down.
Gerry Dolan, the landlord of the King’s Cross pub, died in August 2023 and the pub closed the following month. Since then it’s been boarded up, and there’s been no talk of plans to reopen.
But the Whidborne Street pub has now been put on the market for over £3million. Listed as a ‘substantial three-storey public house’, the property includes the pub’s open plan bar, nine former letting bedrooms, a two-bedroom manager’s flat, and ‘a large cellar with potential for commercial kitchen’.
It’s yours for just £3,150,000. But please, if you buy it, don’t change a thing. Keep the carpets, keep the collection of copper cooking apparatus behind the bar, keep the wooden booth seating. And for goodness sake, keep the name.
Here’s what could be yours, according to the Zoopla listing.
Until it closed, McGlynn’s was one of London’s best boozers, a neighbourhood pub off the tourist track and on the fringes of Bloomsbury with cask ale and a cat. We miss it every day.
