Images show how a new Wetherspoon pub could look if plans to replace a former lap-dancing club are approved.
Applications have been submitted to Camden Council to replace the one-time lap-dancing nightclub Sophisticats in Eversholt Street with a new Euston watering hole.
Designers nineteen47, on behalf of JD Wetherspoon, submitted applications to change the use of the existing ground and basement floors, replace the shopfront and provide outdoor seating.
If approved, the venue is expected to be called the Captain Matthew Flinder, after remains of the Royal Navy explorer were discovered by HS2 archaeologists at a site in Euston in 2019.
Captain Flinder led the first circumnavigation of Australia and is credited with giving the country its name.
The new pub could bring more than 50 new jobs to the area.
Both the building and adjacent terrace are locally listed buildings dating from the early 19th Century.
According to the plans, the frontage will be replaced with a new entrance and large windows.
It is proposed that the pub would be open from 6.30am to midnight from Mondays to Thursdays, 6.30am to 1am on Fridays and Saturdays, and 7.30am to 11pm on Sundays.
The kitchen would operate until 11pm each day and the application states that the premises will not play amplified music.
Wetherspoon spokesman Eddie Gershon said: “We believe the former club in Euston will make a great site for a Wetherspoon pub.
“We believe that it will appeal to people of all ages and be an asset to the area.
“We are looking to invest approximately £2 million on the development and create more than 50 new jobs, subject to planning and licensing approval.”
The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), a voluntary organisation that promotes and protects pubs and clubs as social centres, has shared its support.
Its north London pub protection officer Joanne Scott said: “The pub will act as a valuable resource for the local community."
She continued: “We urge the council to grant planning permission for this proposal.”
