EXPLORING CITY ROAD GETTING AROUND GASTRONOMY & REVELRY ART & CULTURE DIRECTORY CITY ROAD LIVING Captivating, creative and constantly changing, EC1 is renowned for its organic, evolutionary nature. This is where the serenity of Regent’s Canal meets the buzz of a burgeoning technology industry. Where the industrial aesthetic of the nineteenth century is being transformed into twenty-first century living. All the while retaining a natural beauty that offers a welcome retreat for those who know where to find quiet spots such as City Road Basin. This is the starting point for discovery as it has been for centuries. Since City Road and the canal were built, EC1 has been a hub from which to enjoy Clerkenwell’s leafy back lanes, Angel’s shopping streets and Shoreditch’s avant-garde culture.

    The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory

    C THE CAMPAIGN FOR REAL ALE The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory The information The Regional Inventory listings are found on pages 13–47, where the entries are arranged alphabetically by postal districts and, within these, by pub names. The exceptions are outer London districts which are listed towards the end. Key Listed status Statutory listing: whether a pub building is statutorily listed or not is spelled out, together with the grade at which it is listed LPA Local planning authority: giving the name of the London borough responsible for local planning and listed building matters ✩ National Inventory: pubs which are also on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Pub interiors of Outstanding Historic Interest Public transport London is well served by public transport and few of the pubs listed are far from a bus stop, Underground or rail station. The choice is often considerable and users will have no di≤culty in easily reaching almost every pub with the aid of a street map and a transport guide. A few cautionary words The sole concern of this Regional Inventory is with the internal historic fabric of pubs – not with qualities like their atmosphere, friendliness or availability of real ale that are featured in other CAMRA pub guides. Many Regional Inventory pubs are rich in these qualities too, of course, and most of them, but by no means all, serve real ale. But inclusion in this booklet is for a pub’s physical attributes only, and is not to be construed as a recommendation in any other sense.
