The petition:
Ye Olde Swiss Cottage Pub, a treasured local landmark with deep historical significance, is under threat of being sold to developers and potentially demolished. This pub has been a cornerstone of our community for years, providing a unique social space and contributing to the character of the area. However, due to its unlisted status, it is at risk of being lost forever.
We are calling on Camden Council to grant Ye Olde Swiss Cottage Pub Asset of Community Value (ACV) status, ensuring its protection from redevelopment. Additionally, we urge that all future buyers of the property commit to keeping it as a pub, preserving its role as a vital community hub for generations to come.
There is no "Swiss Cottage" without Swiss Cottage. It is linked to the identity and history of the area, and its absence would be a loss to the entire community.

Great, more flats.
Surprised not listed…from memory a Samuel Smiths pub - are there development plans? I would miss it.
This building should at least be treated as a non-designated heritage asset for planning purposes.
That would not give it as much protection as being a designated heritage asset on the Historic England list, but combined with being an Asset of Community Value, should help those campaigning to stop any redevelopment proposals which require it's demolition.
Camden should have a Local List of non-designated heritage buildings worthy of some planning protection. Check whether it is on that list!
