A famous London real ale pub that was threatened with closure is set to re-open. The Wenlock Arms, off City Road in Hackney, has been taken on by Heath Ball, who also runs the Red Lion and Sun in London's Highgate, a Greene King lease site. The Wenlock Arms is operated on a free of tie lease. Ball said: “We want to restore the pub to its status as a real ale Mecca. We will have 10 real ales on pump, a great choice of lagers, a permanent stout and we will also have a good selection of perry and cider.”
