In the light of the government announcement of March 20th, all pubs are now closed until further notice.
Some of them may well still be offering a takeaway beer service and some others will also be selling food takeaways, perhaps even with delivery. If you can give any of our pubs some support through these terrible times by buying some takeaway food or drink, please do so. Our pubs need as much support of possible if they're going to still be there for us when the crisis is over.

The 1879 Kelly's Directory shows a William Warren as a blacksmith in Blyburgate Street.
The landlord's name recorded in 1881 is the same as the landlord of the Victoria Arms in 1891. (Possibly the Queen Victoria until about 1880, the Blacksmith's Arms from about 1881 and the Victoria by 1891.)
