The Wenlock Arms is a historic and beloved pub in London's East End with several interesting facts associated with it: The pub has a long history, having first opened for business in 1787. This makes it over 235 years old, surviving through significant changes in London's landscape and culture. It's located in Hoxton, halfway between Old Street and Angel, near the Regent's Canal. This location has likely contributed to its enduring popularity. The Wenlock Arms is renowned for its cask ales. It has been named North London Pub of the Year by the local CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) branch four times since reopening in 1994. The pub has a celebrity connection - David Beckham used to join his grandfather for drinks at the Wenlock Arms, even after he became a famous footballer. It has appeared in popular culture, featuring in the opening titles of the TV show "Al Murray's Compete for the Meat" and serving as a filming location for Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's 2013 film "The World's End". The Wenlock Arms faced potential demolition in 2010, but was saved after a vigorous campaign led by the local community and CAMRA. It reopened on June 3, 2013, after a period of closure. The pub building, constructed in 1835, is a survivor of the wartime bombing of the area and retains a traditional pub interior. It's known for its warm atmosphere, open fire, and simple but delicious snacks like hot cheese toasties. The Wenlock Arms is now protected as part of a conservation area, following a decision by Hackney Council in December 2011. These facts highlight the Wenlock Arms' historical significance, its importance to the local community, and its reputation as a quintessential London pub.

Just got back from an 8 day adventure through London pubs, sadly I didn't cross paths with Terry - probably a good thing because I do have a job to go back to in the states & honestly I'd probably extend my vacation. "This" is what I love about visiting the UK as well as N. Europe. I have met so many genuine, friendly and true to heart souls in Europe/UK that I feel so home here. I miss you all and bow down to the beautiful culture you all have contributed to the world.

Thank you!!! 💕

Even though there were not many drinkers, a piano transforms the atmosphere of a pub. Well done Terry.😊😊😊😊

A proper London pub. Keep finding these gems, Terry!

In my opinion, this was one of your best Pub Piano Quests. Your playing, your music, the mood in the pub and by all people, that`s mentally touching me. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job, Terry, and for sharing it with us. Greetings from Germany, Klaus Z.

Terry, you brought the place to life they all loved it

It would be great if you could organise "an evening with Terry Miles" at these old pubs, I'm sure lots of your followers would come to meet you, plus it would be nice to see these pubs full again & it would benefit the pubs too.

Maybe he could organize a pub piano crawl. Have a group of fans meet and go to different pubs in an evening and drink and listen to Terry jam. Then the pubs can get some business from everyone while Terry plays.

I love it when we've been good and Terry takes us places. I enjoy the rich history of the pubs and have always been so impressed at how clean they are. Long Live the Palm Tree 🌴🌴

British people have kinda weirdly often mastered the skill of being positive without being toxicly positive. I think their daily dose of satire, sarcasm and cynicism helps.

To end a hard week with a Terry Miles Video (and LiveChat) ... 👍 A big surprise and a big pleasure, Terry !!!

Human nature rejoiced that day, for authenticity was reborn in an old house that day! Thank you from us all!

Nice to see the Welsh Flag above the bar. Loved Lilly The Pink. And some good old London songs. Loved Great Balls Of Fire... That's good old Terry and his red socks.

Wonderful Pop-Up Surprise, Terry, on another Hot Summer's day!! Will come indoors, cool-down a bit, Enjoy some Fantastic Boogie & meet some new folks!! Many thanks, Terry😊🎉👍🍻🍻🌞

Terry, The show was awesome and made my vacation that much better. A Big high five and huge THANK YOU.:)

Fantastic to see Terry belting out some great music. Sad to see zombies stood still holding mobile phones. Should be up grooving to the sounds.

Love that you take the time to find these old pubs with dusty old piano's, that are just yearning to be played and create an atmosphere ❤

You create the good vibes Terry ! Keep going to find the piano’s 😎 Love it !

Our local Pub (Duke of Edinburgh) in Cuppertino California used to have sing songs like this every Friday and Saturday with all the local Brits. It was great fun

I just love your pub piano quests Terry, much more of them, please!!

I am trying to recall any old pub/bars in my area of Maryland and the only one I remember is The Horse you Came in on. We have a few around in Maryland that are around 200 years old. I love the tours as I don't know much about England or the pub tradition. Love seeing the old places still around and of course hearing you tickle the keys on those old Joannas.

Hello Cadillac Roy too,,nice see👋💕〰️〰️〰️🎹🎶Great you song,,like and membe this,,,🎶〰️🎹🎹💃💃💃💃👍🍺Thank you and Terry Miles this wonderful musiic.
