This is not a guide to current information though I have tried as far as possible to enter all the information that has been printed in London Drinker. Up-to-date information can be obtained from CAMRA Pubs. As with the published guides establishments calling themselves bars, cafes etc have been (largely) ignored. If you want the pub phone number then use this link but they can also be found along with links to Facebook and pub website from CAMRA Pubs. TRAVEL: Underground map.. Plan your journey Transport For London..
The way to use this online guide is to search for your pub here and then refer to the list of nearly all the updates since 1992 appear here in a doc file. Then to the latest update which is here. New establishments opening without real ale have been omitted from this list.

In March 1983 a guide was produced by Adrian Hall and Maxine Cooper and circulated amongst branch members. Here it is in PDF format.
