00:01The Tipperary first opened in 1605 as the Boar's Head, and was renamed after it was
00:07bought by an Irish pub group in the 1800s.
00:11With its iconic green paint and Guinness signage, there have been claims that Tipperary is the
00:16oldest Irish pub in the capital.
00:20The wood panelled building was bought by Green King in the 1980s, and it was then under private
00:26ownership for around a decade before closing during the pandemic.
00:33Chairman of the City of London Cooperation Licensing Committee, James Tunbridge, said that the City
00:38of London is more than just a place to work, it's a place to socialise and build friendships,
00:44and that's why the protection of pubs like the Tipperary, an asset of both community value
00:49and historic significance, is a key priority for the City Cooperation.
