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.

My great great uncle, Thomas Rushent, was a licensed victualler at this pub in 1884 and details appear in Morris’s Business Directory of London at that date. Thomas was quite a personality. He was a sergeant in the Grenadier Guards and fought and was injured in the Crimea. He was awarded the Queens Crimea Medal with 4 clasps, the Turkish Crimea Medal, the 1887 Jubilee Medal with 1897 clasp. In 1877 he was made a Yeoman of the Guard. He died in Walthamstow in 1905. *

My Aunt Lilian Rose Croll was licensee to both the Admiral Keppel, 232 Hoxton Street, Shoreditch and the Kings Arms, 295 Hoxton Street, Shoreditch in the mid 1900s. She also had another pub which I believe was The Queen Victoria. Above is a photo taken outside the Kings Arms of all the male customers who appear to be going off on a Pub Outing. ***

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!
