This crawl is dedicated to the memory of Terry Casey (1944 to 2020) who for many years compiled wonderful maps for London Pubs Group crawls. Sadly Terry died on 20 January of injuries sustained when he was in collision with a car. He is much missed. Please raise a glass to Terry during the crawl whether you are doing it with the Group or independently. Terry Casey's biography is here: Terry's Biography

All welcome to join the crawl, CAMRA members and non-members alike.
