I was there this morning and took a couple of pics, it's not boarded up like the last time I saw it, but it doesn't appear to be open for business (as there was no licencees name above the door) either although people seem to be living there. It would probably also explain why I saw 2 Maroush vans parked on the pavement outside, being blocked in because of people going to Lord's for the cricket.

I noticed the same as ianbeer yesterday and searched the web for more info. "Property Week" of 25.10.02 reported that:

"Marouf Abouzaki... said he was also opening a Maroush in Aberdeen Place off Edgware Road, having bought the freehold to the Crocker's Folly pub for £3m."

So the writing has been on the wall for five years! Explains why they stopped trying, doesn't it?

The boards were off the windows on 30th Nov' and people were looking around inside. There was a van outside that belongs to a well known Lebanese restaurant. I wonder if this could be a clue to the future.

Sad end to what was a great pub! Used to frequent often, especially quiz nights when Dominic(?) used to persent the quiz! Now living in Cheshire but used to visit on return trips to London. Also the Truscott Arms seems to have suffered the same fate!

A sad story - that seems to have an unhappy end. Our "Regents_Canal_Pubcrawl" has lost one attraction -but we sure will pay respect when passing by next time (in Sept.)

Thanks to Simon and JohnBonser for keeping us informed: This is "BITE at it's best".

I am glad to have contributed with the picture - had no idea that it was for a thombstone.
