I think it's a bit misleading. Waltham Forest closures look to me as though they have stopped in the last few years. Hackney has new places under the backdrop of having the number of pubs decimated in the previous thirty years.
The Bexley branch of CAMRA now has 9 micropubs in the area nearly all or even all of which have opened in the last five years.
I'm surprised to hear that figure.
