A pub has been granted a marriage licence making it possible for couples to tie the knot in their favourite boozer.

The County Arms, Trinity Road, Wandsworth, has been granted permission to host weddings and civil partnerships.

Managers decided to apply for the license after a number of couples selected the pub for their wedding receptions.

Several brides and grooms began enquiring whether they could get married in the building too.

Joanna Kersley, events co-ordinator, said: "With the economic climate, people are being more careful with their budgets as well.

"People become attached to their local pub, why not extend that to your wedding day."
