LONDON TIMES 2014
From the series: PUBLIC HOUSE A Tapestry of London Heritage Pub Interiors
The public house, or commonly the pub, has been the social centre of every British community for hundreds of years. In the 1960s, social changes in British drinking habits led to the formation of an organization in 1971 called Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), with a mandate to campaign for greater appreciation of traditional ales. By the 1980s, it had become evident that the heritage of British pubs was being disregarded.
As a result, CAMRA launched the Pub Preservation Group which in 1991 conducted the National Inventory of Pub Interiors of Outstanding Historic Interest. This was followed by the first regional inventory in Greater London in 1992. This series of photographs consists of selected London public houses that have met CAMRA'S strict criteria.
