The Old White Bear is a pub at 1 Well Road, Hampstead, in the London Borough of Camden.
It dates back to 1704, but closed on 2 February 2014, as the property developer Braaid Ventures Ltd tried to obtain a change of use application to turn it into a six-bedroom luxury house.[1] Camden Council rejected this, and it reopened as a pub eight months later, following community protests and a petition signed by 4,000 people and supported by the actors Ricky Gervais and Peter Egan.[2]
