  • 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.

  • February 2020 Editors: Fiona Fowler & Maya Donelan No
    Newsletter February 2020 Editors: Fiona Fowler & Maya Donelan No. 105 CHAIRMAN’S LETTER Happy New Year to you all and welcome to the Fulham Society’s Newsletter. We aim to update you on planning issues in Fulham and on local news of interest. In this edition we even recommend places to stay and eat as well as remind you of some of the concerts and events happening locally. We always welcome articles from our members and news of things we may have missed. Climate change is much in the news and I thought some might appreciate a Beginner’s Guide. We have also suggested some ideas if you are building/developing your house or office. They may seem rather new but if the UK is to meet its target of net emissions by 2050, they will soon become commonplace. We are planning some visits and talks and we will be running the Front Garden Competition again this year so do start thinking of your planting. We are adding balconies and blocks of flats this year but remember the planting does have to be seen from the street. We are hoping to arrange a visit to the Tideway Tunnel in May/June. In the meantime, do join us for a tour of the art collection at Charing Cross Hospital. The curator will show us the very large collection of mainly 20th century and contemporary paintings, prints and sculptures by many notable British artists (see p13 for details). I look forward to seeing you there, Fiona Fowler WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE? There have always been natural fluctuations in the climate but temperatures are now rising faster than at any other time.
