Rose Maclachlan, 27, and Rory Chisholm, 28 decided to go on their first date at The Rose & Crown pub in Clapham, south London in 2018. Rory was also in a two-year relationship, but we both got on really well,” Rose, now a postgraduate student, said. They’d replaced the massive sign on the front of the pub with The Rose & Rory, we couldn’t believe it." After the pub retired the sign, they gifted it to the couple, and Rose now hangs it proudly in her bedroom. The Long Live the Local campaign estimates 9 in 10 people have found a special relationship at the local pub.
