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.
Thank you very much for this wonderful information. This is very helpful to everyone watching. Thank You. I've pinned this comment to the top. All the boogie best. Terry Miles 🤠
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.
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.
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.
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😊🎉👍🍻🍻🌞
@@chriskane8625 Wow!! great lunch spread at your place,,, bigtime heat advisory here,,, the onions can carmelize on the pool deck right now!! See you on Terry's Wenlock Arms premiere 😄🤝🍻
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 🌴🌴
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.
Legendary Musician and Forgotten Tavern Discover🎹 Terry 🤠 Miles 🎹 does it Again. Great Job and thanks for taking us Along. Thanks also to Cadillac Roy .❤ Have a Great Weekend
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.
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
God bless you Terry Miles for your great work, your piano playing, and the joy that you bring to people all over Old London Town and many parts of Britain, Ireland and the world, If I was a rich man i would employ you to play piano at my next ancient 97th birthday but I am so poor event the church mice have packed up their bags and left me on my own, Keep up your great works Terry, teach us the history of old pubs and playing your boogie woogie music
Thank you, I will definitely be out and about to find more pianos very soon ... I love doing my 'Pub Piano Quests' and I'm glad to see that people seem to enjoy watching my videos here on TH-cam. Thank you for watching. All the boogie best. Terry 🤠👍
Thank you, Robert. Yes, we all miss Eric and Ernie. Glad you enjoyed watching my latest TH-cam 'Terry's Pub Piano Quest' video. All the boogie best. Terry 🤠
Used to drink in a pub in ladywell, the fox an firkin they had a bloke on the piano on a Saturday night, songsheets were handed out and people just sang along, like they would have done 70 or 80 years ago..fantastic atmosphere Someone needs to do it again, singing brings people together, even in London
Thank you very much for your kind Super-Chat, Elod. I'm next live-streaming on my TH-cam Channel this coming Tuesday at 6:30pm - UK Time - I hope that you can join us for this. All the boogie best, Elod. Terry 🤠👍
Pity a lot of pubs are closing down. They are part of London's furniture. I also like and admire your style Mr. Miles👍👍👍 You defintely bring joy wherever you go!
Awwww Brother... I'm so envious, you played this one so smooth and you always make me smile man. The old gent even came to life and got into it. Love ya man ! ! ! Hey thank you for sharing you gift and talent once again
Terry what an incredible place and history of this pub you came across as you were out and about. Wow!! What a great crowd to play and sing for. God bless you Terry. Thank you for sharing your amazing journey and talent.
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.
Hi Terry, I'm really looking forward to this pub quest l was there!! A very small pub but the locals absolutely loved your piano playing.As did I. Fantastic!!
@@cadillacroy Hi Cadillacroy, It was a pleasure meeting you Terry and Eileen at the Wenlock Arms last Saturday afternoon. I don't have a You Tube channel as such I film these events and add them to my own personal collection. I thought you were very brave singing in public I could never do that. Take Care
I don't know if I'll ever have the opportunity to travel from Canada to anywhere across the drink; however, if I do get the opportunity, I will use Terry's videos as my travel guide lol.
Smiles all round ' you certainly livened up the place ' and what a nice crowd. You should leave these places a rosette or something saying 'Terry Approves this Piano ' at each venue ...no one can resist to tap their feet as soon as those Boogie chords begin ' ...Wonderful '

Great series Terry, yes pubs are closing down but you're keeping them alive with your boogie woogie

That would probably be hilarious.
You create the good vibes Terry !

That was a BIG success. Love to see the various pubs in England. Thanks Terry and a big thanks to your camera person.
Good to see Eric looking down upon you with a smile, I expect he was tapping his feet in Heaven when he heard the Boogie Woogie...
Thank you, Robert. Yes, we all miss Eric and Ernie. Glad you enjoyed watching my latest TH-cam 'Terry's Pub Piano Quest' video. All the boogie best. Terry 🤠
Fantastic pub piano video, great to see everyone having a great time 👍👍👍
