    Default london pubs

    Does PUG have the total number of pubs in London. I have read its 7000 but wonder where they get the facts from.No doubt the vatman knows but I often think this number is too high.

    I have a vague recollection from the mid 1970s of it being around 5,000. I doubt if it's that now let alone 7.000.

    I thought it was about 5,500 but 7000 seems to be the figure being bandied about around the internet.

    Does that include all the closed pubs posted by Tris c .Back to what I posted is 7000 the amount of licenced premises rather than pubs.Or is PUG lagging behind the true number.

    They are listed open pubs... closed pubs not included. I think that them numbers are reasonably accurate. Especially as most have been photographed.

    I would guess that the 7,000 figure includes licensed restaurants. I reckon the PUG figure is probably about right, although I wouldn't mind betting there are a few closed ones that haven't been noticed yet.

    And once you've done that then feel free to also define 'London'
