Later it was bought by Mecca Leisure Group and became the Tottenham Royal, managed by William McLeish.

The 1950s saw the Royal embrace the rock and roll era and there is a well-known photograph in Picture Post of a group of Teddy Boys in the dance hall. There was also a publicity shot taken outside the Royal when the Tottenham Hotspur League and Cup double team showed off their medals during a victory parade down the High Road in 1961. Throughout the 1960s bands such as the Dave Clark Five, the Troggs, The Who and The Animals played at the Royal and the Kray twins were among the more notorious visitors.
