Help us decide the CAMRA Greater London Pub of the Year
Discerning volunteers are now surveying London CAMRA branches’ Pub of the Year winners to determine our regional Pub of the Year award. Announced in late July, the Greater London winner then enters a ‘super-regional’ round from which four finalists are judged for the overall national award, won for 2024 by the Bailey Head in Oswestry.
Contact your local CAMRA branch if you would like to join their team of judges and help decide the 2025 winner. Why not visit our 12 award-winning pubs and see how you rate them!
