London pub history in 1981: A
This is quite simply a list of pubs which existed in 1981 in London, it confirms their existence, and also their address at the time. An additional feature is if the pub is closed and demolished, addding detail slowly. If you want to help, please update an entire page, not just one entry, thanks.
Do you have additional detail about any of these London pubs, their history, your own photographs of yesteryear, e.g. in the 1960s and 1970s? Please let me know.
