Introduction

Public houses are closing down in London and elsewhere in the UK. This site will be a record of that change of the cultural and social landscape. Our new logo is The Lord Napier White Post Lane, Hackney Wick East London.

The pub, in the country, was the social focus of a community. These days, you need a grant, a mission statement and a series of meetings. In the old days, a meeting in the upstairs room was all that was needed. There was a cricket team, a darts team or just a game of skittles.

Pubs are worth more as advertising space: see The Londoner, The White Horse in Stepney, The Queen Victoria and The Foundry which has a very large advertising space above it with the premises behind the hoarding is unused.
