What Happened to the Cove Bar – Part 2
Jun 25th, 2011 |
An early morning stroll across Covent Garden, an open door and accommodating staff enabled me to get this set of pictures.

Recently opened, the smell of fresh paint is still in the air – too early even for coffee.
Of course some of you may recognise that these pictures show what became of the Cove Bar – London’s only cornish pub which closed at the beginning of 2011 – see So Farewell to the Cove Bar in Covent Garden for my sparse collection of photos from the Cove. The transformation is significant – gone is the plain wood and the cosy rustic charm. Also gone is the old bar formed from a part of a real fishing boat.
