"The Wenlock Arms was saved from demolition in June 2013. It took some campaigning. Thankfully, Hackney Council saw fit to rescue the boozer, reportedly a favourite of David Beckham and his grandfather. Visit today and it is easy to see why ensuring the pub’s future was so important. It’s a considered blend of old and new, dart board and craft beer, and vegan sausage rolls. Behind the hanging baskets is a solid selection of real ales, buttery toasties and pies. The Wenlock shows sport, too. An enduring establishment." - Josh Barrie
