Pause, not stop

Some mis-information flying round Twitter last night: The Dover Castle, in Weymouth Mews, W1, close to the hearts of many past and present Beeboids, is closing its doors on Friday. But not forever. Howard De Walden Estates have permission to create two flats instead of one above, and to remodel the basement, so that there's a better kitchen, toilets and some drinking/eating space downstairs. It'll come back as a pub, but not necessarily in the hands of Sam Smith.
