CROCKER’S FOLLY, LONDON NW8. Chris Witt reports ‘it is still locked and 
derelict, but complete, inside. Upstairs is occupied. Owners are the 
Maroush chain of Lebanese restaurants, and I spoke to them. Their idea 
was to retain, and refurbish, the bar area - create an upmarket 
restaurant in the left hand section - and a boutique hotel on the upper 
floors. The plans have been rejected by Westminster City Council, 
apparently, and the building will shortly be up for sale again. If their 
plans were as explained to me then it would have preserved the entire 
building and, most important, the classic bar area. Not to be - so we 
must await developments (or not)!’
