Get ready for a weekend full of shamrocks, leprechauns and the odd pot of gold – that’s right, Sunday is St Patrick’s Day!
It’s that time of year when we all seem to claim our ‘Irish’ roots and enjoy a grand old shindig with a pint (and then some) of the black stuff.
But did you know that St Patrick’s Day is actually a cultural and religious celebration held on 17th March, commemorating the death of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, and the arrival of Christianity in the country? Seemingly, the Irish tipple has always featured in celebrations and can be linked back to the historical Lenten restrictions on eating and drinking, which were lifted on this special day. Modern-day festivities are now celebrated across the world giving us the perfect excuse to dress up in all things green and Riverdance the night away.
Fortunately, you don’t need the luck of the Irish to find the perfect watering hole this Paddy’s Day – Clapham Junction is home to fantastic pubs and bars where you’re guaranteed to enjoy the craic. Here's just a selection...
