National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors The National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors is a register of public houses in the United Kingdom with interiors which have been noted as being of significant historic interest, having remained largely unchanged for at least 30 years, but usually since at least World War II. The National Inventory was begun by (and is maintained by) the Campaign for Real Ale as part of that organisation's mission to protect Britain's pub heritage as well as good beer. CAMRA is an independent, voluntary, consumer organisation based in St Albans, England, whose main aims are promoting
The Star, St John's Wood being used as a bogus estate agents office. Tom Stainer, head of communications for the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) commented: "This is just the latest in a long line of pubs converted due to a loophole in planning law." The council received a petition from 800 people and with support from Paul Heaton of pop group The Housemartins who filmed the video for "Happy Hour" in The Star in 1986. Local people commented that only three pubs remained around St John's Wood High Street, whereas there are 13 estate agents. The pub is opening as restaurant/bar being renamed Drunch
