Branch and regional CAMRA news
  • CAMRA has launched a virtual pub online - the Red (On)Lion
  • The London Drinker is out online with news about pubs and CAMRA. Due to the current situation it is online only.
 Pub and brewery news
  • Most pubs are now open. We're not back to normal though - all are now closed at 10pm (without any 'drinking-up time') and table service only. At the time of writing, London is a 'tier 2' (high) area which means that households must not mix when visiting pubs (or anywhere else indoors). Please follow official guidance when visiting pubs and keep safe!
  • Big Smoke brewery has taken over the former Rook's Nest, and it has been renamed the Prince of Wales Townhouse offering a wide selection of real ales.
  • WhatPub has details of pubs offering takeaway and delivery services during the pandemic. We have tried to update the current situation in pubs on WhatPub as much as possible, but please note that we're not able to survey all pubs, and details may not be fully updated due to the changing situation. It is recommended that you check the pub's website or social media accounts before making a visit.
  • Portobello Brewery is offering a home delivery service with a variety of their beers available. For full details see their Facebook page. They are offering free delivery within the M25.
  • CAMRA has launched a website and mobile phone app Brew to You to help you order beer for delivery or collection from pubs and breweries.
  • CAMRA's Pulling Together website has details of other breweries offering takeaway and delivery services.

Coronavirus update

Hullo folks:

In light of the latest Government advice to avoid social contact, all scheduled CAMRA West London Branch events are cancelled with immediate effect.

This includes this Thursday's social at the Willow Walk, the pub walk on March 31st and all our announced branch meetings and socials in April and May, including the Annual General Meeting, which is postponed to later in the year. When we are able to do so, we will announce new dates for all these events.

To avoid the looming health catastrophe, all citizens are now being urged to change their normal lives drastically and to follow the official advice about the Coronavirus.

We very much hope that they and we will be able to “resume normal service” at the earliest possible opportunity.

Meanwhile, good luck and good health to all reading this. Stay safe.
