History
It was originally called the Duke of Sussex and dated back to at least 1879, and the street itself was previously known as Latimer Road. It was rebuilt some time after World War II. The pub closed in 2011. It had been owned by Enterprise Inns, and before that by Watney Combe & Reid.Demolition
The building was listed for sale by AG&G ("one of the UK’s leading specialists in licensed leisure property") for offers "in excess of £1,800,000". In May 2012, it was being marketed by Goldcrest Land plc for £2.2–2.4 million, with a "Full Detailed Planning Application" having been made for a "six storey building comprising 84 student housing studios" plus a retail unit on the ground floor. The pub was demolished, and the site is now occupied by ''Yara Central, Holland Park'', student accommodation in studio flats for 84 students, owned by Yara Capital. Rents range from £14,200 to £15,300 per year.References
