281 pubs closed there doors in London between January and June 2009 which is equivalent to eleven pubs every week, according to new figures for the capital issued today by the British Beer & Pub Association. The latest BBPA regional survey data for the capital shows in total, 281 pubs closed their doors for the last time, in the first half of 2009.
Other southern regions have also been hit by pub closures, with pub closures in the Meridian region at eight per week. Anglia region pub closures are four per week, and in the south west, the figure is three per week.
To reflect concern in London and the south over pub closures, regional pub leaders are meeting with MPs in the Red Lion pub in Westminster today (Thursday), to sign up to a new campaign, “I’m backing the pub” – calling on consumers, publicans, politicians and all who value the British beer and the British pub to sign up in support.
