Search the London & Southern England Pub History site and Street directory by historical Pub name, surname or street address, i.e. use the search box below.
The Pub history site is a major historical street directory which lists mainly Pubs, beer retailers, taverns and hotels; and street name changes between about 1840 and 1940.
All transcriptions and imagery is copyright, and excepting personal usage (which is fine); is NOT available for commercial usage without explicit permission.
Many of the Pubs are still open, as I do not differentiate between dead and open Pubs.
The site is updated every day, mainly during pub opening hours.
Please contact: Kevan with any updates and additional details to the site/s. Thanks.

Apologies for the delay in updates at present, but I suffer from BT Infinity.
BT Infinity appear to have a severe shortage of trained engineers, hence my broadband not working for nearly a week, so far.
The BT engineer has purportedly fixed the problem, and not bothered to visit.
I apologise reservedly for the total lack of care by BT Infinity in this matter of NOT fixing my broadband. Have you tried Virgin broadband, allegedly faster according to Ofcom.
I do not think that BT care, but I do!
