Re: Save your local pub

I saw this earlier and was counting up, here in SW London we seem to have lost most of them, of about 15 that were within walking distance only 3 are still traditioal pubs - the other are restaurants, winebars or Estate agents
We have also lost Youngs brewery which is about to be 2 thirty story blocks of flats on an island in a very busy crossroads, which are still on the Saxon layout of the original village. They used to deliver to a lot of their own pubs with beautiful horses and the brrels on carts.
