Feeling thirsty?
/
The other day we came across our local and discovered that it's pretty special. It's called The Ranelagh (pronounced The Ran-lee or The Ran-uh-luh depending who you ask!) It's been around since 1860 and is steeped in history and bursting with character. It's a typical cosy London watering hole with a twist of sophistication. The beer garden is a real suntrap and I'm looking forward to sipping a half on a summer's day. They've got a great range of beers on tap, from craft brews to cask ales. If you're in north London and fancy a tipple,I definitely recommend popping into this pub.
