GREATER LONDON PUB OF THE YEAR 2003  The SPBW has voted the Wenlock Arms as London's best pub. | ||||||
Steve and Will of the Wenlock Arms were presented with a special award on Monday 27 January at 8 o'clock p.m. It was a pleasure to see so many SPBW members at the venue. We thank the hosts, for supplying some grub, accepting a presentation of two plaques and laying on some excellent beers. Pictures are shown below, the Hackney Gazette covered the full story. This event marked the start of the celebrations for the fortieth anniversary of the SPBW. (These pictures are produced with permission from the photographer James Emmett)
The Wenlock Arms is a genuine traditional back street local which was rescued from obscurity when beer lovers Steve and Will took it over in 1994. Nowadays it serves up to 8 hand pumped beers (as well as a 'real' cider) and it is one of the few London pubs where you can always get a pint of mild. It attracts a clientele of regulars from the neighbourhood and beer lovers from further afield. They are entertained by live jazz on Friday and Saturday evening and Sunday lunchtime as well as by a quiz on Thursday nights. More information about the pub can be found on its website: www.wenlock-arms.co.uk Wenlock Road is just off City Road to the north. Nearest tube is Old Street - leave station by exit 1. Walk past Moorfields Eye Hospital, look out for Shepherdess Walk (and the famous Eagle pub of the song) and take next turning Windsor Terrace (opposite the Star); Wenlock Road is a continuation.
