A local boozer in Barnes has received a new lease of life after a group of investors reinvigorated the historic property. Leading the charge is George Glasgow Jr, the CEO of George Cleverley Shoes in the Royal Arcade on Old Bond Street. The Barnes resident told The Standard he wanted to create a truly independent, local pub.
“Although my business is based in Mayfair,” Glasgow says, “I have a remarkable number of clients who tell me they are looking for a lovely local pub.” Glasgow now owns the majority of The Brown Dog with Sam Tidswell-Norrish, a founder member of the team at private equity firm, Motive Partners, and the pair have gathered a few famous local names to help their new venture thrive.
