Not just London. The village I live had 4 pubs when I first moved here. There is now 1. They were all tied pubs and the brewery kept putting the price of their beer up which the Landlord had to pass on to the customers so less people could afford to drink more than once a week. The last one to shut was going to be refurbished by the brewery but is now up for sale so will probably end up as a private house.
