A MYSTERY soccer star and his business partner have paid more than the �500,000 asking’ price for an East End boozer just a stone’s throw from London’s Canary Wharf.
But the surveyors handling the deal are staying tight-lipped about the Premier League player who has bought Mile End’s Britannia pub (pictured) in Bow Common Lane, just a mile north of the affluent business district.
“I’m not allowed to tell you who the player is,” said AG & G chartered surveyors director James Grimes. “But I can say that he didn’t get his inspiration from Stoke’s Britannia stadium.
“He bought The Brit with a developer, so a change of use could be on the cards.”
