All 1,500+ South West London CAMRA branch members were entitled to vote for their favourite pub from the short-listed pubs on the voting form they received with the branch Christmas mailout.
There was also an unofficial "just for fun" online poll with the seven short listed pubs [http://polldaddy.com/poll/5826474/] in which anyone could vote - not just CAMRA members. This was won by the Old Sergeant in Garratt Lane, Wandsworth.
