WhatPub?<\/em><\/strong> Update 40<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WhatPub? Update<\/strong> publishes news items collated by Greater London branches, often from information supplied through the \u2018Submit Update\u2019 button on WhatPub<\/strong>.  We aim to report all openings and closures of places that satisfy the CAMRA definition of a pub (including those selling draught but not real ale); all pubs that add or remove real ale; and changes of name, ownership or beer policy.  Readers are encouraged to visit WhatPub?<\/strong> for pub details, and to \u2018Submit Update\u2019 when they find incomplete or out-of-date information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                At this time we are aware that we are not capturing as many changes as we might usually be reporting.  However, we are now maintaining at www.london.camra.org.uk<\/a> live lists of which pubs are now open in each London branch area and which have remained closed since lockdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
