The Wenlock Arms is a beloved back-street free house at 26 Wenlock Road in Hoxton (N1 7TA), pouring beer since 1836 and famously saved from demolition by a community campaign in 2010. It balances old-school drinking-den character with a modern destination pub's craft-beer range, and was crowned North London CAMRA Pub of the Year 2026. Music is part of the weekly rhythm: live piano sessions, weekend DJ/club nights (DJs every Saturday) and an intimate acoustic open mic for emerging performers in a room holding around 80. Family- and dog-friendly, it's a small but characterful grassroots spot welcoming originals and covers.
