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.

Best Broadband Providers in the UK - tested in October 2010.
Recommendations for a web site provider are:
eukhost.com - see my Whats New page to clarify this
An exceptionally strong recommendation for a Gas Safe engineer in Essex is N R Heating who fixed several gas leaks in my home today. The work was very professional, totally committed to safety and quality; plus the price was very competitive; and after sales service is again exceptional. New boiler installation was also another brilliant service. A very high class recommendation for a Gas Safe Engineer in Essex and London.
Apologies for British Telecom who provide my broadband until the 18 month contract ends. I suffer from BT Infinity.
who appear to have a severe shortage of lack of after sales service, 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. I have made three apointments for them to visit, but they appear to not understand customer care and arranged visits.
Have you tried Virgin broadband, allegedly faster according to Ofcom. I am certain the service is also better.
I do not think that BT care, but I do!
