Be the envy of your friends and colleagues by transporting yourself to a national treasure! Enjoy introducing people to a few of our nation’s unique, historical and well-preserved pubs with our free downloadable images for Zoom meetings and other virtual get togethers. It’s a great way to bring a bit of extra interest to your calls and online meetings, and to share some unique pub locations. 

All of these pubs are recorded and logged by CAMRA’s Pub Heritage Group, who are dedicated to protecting, preserving and promoting the nation’s unspoilt pubs. Pubs with traditional interiors, or unspoilt features and rooms are visited and logged up and down the country and many are now protected and recognised as pubs of historical and architectural importance. 

To find out more we have a number of regional guides, which now includes the South East of England, as well as the Best of British Real Heritage Pubs, all available from the CAMRA Bookshop.
