London Pubs

Vintage colour photos of London pubs from the 1950s to the 1990s, documenting one of the capital’s most enduring social institutions across the post-war and late-20th-century decades. Taken on colour film, these images capture public houses as everyday meeting places, woven into neighbourhood life across London.

This collection includes views of pub exteriors and interiors, signage, street corners, surrounding buildings, and local streets, reflecting the character of London pubs during the second half of the 20th century. From traditional Victorian and Edwardian pubs to later mid-century establishments, the photographs preserve a detailed visual record of pub culture before widespread closures, refurbishment, and changes in licensing reshaped the city’s drinking landscape.

All images are available as high-resolution, royalty-free digital downloads suitable for editorial, commercial, or personal use.
