Here are the London Pubs Directory Index Pages

Aldgate - East Ham , Forest Gate - Spitalfields , St Alban - St Margarets, St Martin - St Thomas , Stoke Newington - Whitefriars

London Public Houses information starts with the 1881 census, then Trade Directory entries are added from the Post Office , Kelly and Pigots Directories; plus Petty Session Victuallers records. The information is mostly historical, being up to two hundred years previous. Included too, are many modern and classical images of these public houses; and the occasional Telephone number. There are thousands of London Pubs - i.e. public houses & taverns, Pubs   and also includes many beer houses (the early off licences). East London, Essex, City of London Pubs.

These Pubs in London are London landmarks - use this information to search to find your way around London [past & present] , and to give you a pointer to searching for other ancestors. I have to point out that I have purposefully used the 1881 census to place a London Publican in a particular Parish. This does not always compare favourably with modern Postal addresses, but there is a search engine on every page - USE THE SEARCH ENGINE!

The modern breweries often continue to use an old Pub, but are also very good at creating an 'Old Pub' which looks like an old pub! There are many modern pubs which have been around for only a few years. The brewers often describe these as a Victorian building, but not necessarily an Victorian pub - beware of this trickery. The renaming of pubs also seems to be important, this site lists the original names mainly.

How many times have you given directions, that included Pubs as a landmark, think of this London Public Houses site as the historical directory to London.
