Peter Forster left this review about The Wenlock Arms
A traditional London corner pub and very much a lone survivor in this part of town. Easy bus links from Kings Cross and a short walk to get here. This is the sort of place that you might expect Bob Hoskins and Micheal Caine to have filmed in. Wood floors and a period bar are slightly shabby but that seems right. Very friendly bar staff make you feel welcome. There was a large selection of cask ales from the Bermondsey based Kernel Brewery spread along the bar. A pint of their Pale Ale 3.0% was refreshing and nicely balanced. It had a small batch flavour but that was fine. A good NBSS 4 at £5.80 a pint. I could have happily sat there all evening working through their beers. Highly recommended and worth travelling to.

This area has become a real soulless part of town, lots of new flats and cold streets. The pub is a little run down and in need of attention, saved by the beer choice and quality

The Chairman left this review about The Wenlock Arms
I have visited a couple of times in the last few months and am unconvinced whether it is what I regard as a good pub. On the fuirst visit it was a Saturday evening and the pub was very busy with loud music being played, so I only had a quick half. I then visited again on a weekday afternoon, with much more time and space available. I tried a couple of beers: Gun Scaramanga extra pale ale was probably a lovely beer but was served too cold to really enjoy, and Beerblefish Blackbeerble stout had slightly too much of a sharp fruit taste for my liking. One of those is definitely the fault of the pub. Given the location is a bit off the beaten track, I can't see that I shall be rushing to return when there are better options not too far away.
