Games for London 2012
Search the London & Southern England Pub History site and Street directory by historical Pub name, surname or street address, i.e. use the search box below.
The Pub history site is a major historical street directory which lists mainly Pubs, beer retailers, taverns and hotels; and street name changes between about 1840 and 1940.
All transcriptions and imagery is copyright, and excepting personal usage (which is fine); is NOT available for commercial usage without explicit permission.
Many of the Pubs are still open, as I do not differentiate between dead and open Pubs.
The site is updated every day, mainly during pub opening hours.
Please contact: Kevan with any updates and additional details to the site/s. Thanks.
The Games for London - 2012.
Games for London introduction & historical search.
Travel in London
The Games for London site is a simple guide to getting around London during the
Olympics in 2012; but also heavily weighted from a historical perspective.
My interest lies in the historical side of an area, and this applies whether
searching for a historical address, or looking for ancestors in the area. The
sites linked are a method of searching for a historical address in London which
is entirely separate from the modern mapping system of London.
You can use the simple search engine to find a specific surname, an address or
an historical pub. The search also extends to many other areas outside London,
and in particular the home counties in the South of England.
Much of London has been decimated over the years, either through slum clearance
at any time over the last two hundred years, the massive annihilation of the
bombing of London in the 1940’s; or the introduction of new road and rail
systems, modern office blocks etc. etc.
One thing that appears to have changed to a lesser degree is the churches in
London and the parish which a church would cover; and also to some extent, that
many historical public houses have managed to last through the ravages of time.
If you are coming to visit London during the Olympics, please note that I have
no intention of answering any queries during that time as I will also be
watching the Games in London.
Enjoy.

Apologies for the delay in updates at present, but I suffer from BT Infinity.
BT Infinity appear to have a severe shortage of trained engineers, hence my broadband not working for nearly a week, so far.
The BT engineer has purportedly fixed the problem, and not bothered to visit.
I apologise reservedly for the total lack of care by BT Infinity in this matter of NOT fixing my broadband. Have you tried Virgin broadband, allegedly faster according to Ofcom.
I do not think that BT care, but I do!
