Legends

Whenever I see the sign saying «The Village» as I pull into East Kilbride, I always think it looks like something out of a Stephen King novel.
However, The Village, is probably the nicest area of «biggest town in the UK» East Kilbride.
Legends is based in the village. It is a traditional, cosy wee pub with a function room upstairs.

Some legends of East Kilbride.
Lorraine Kelly.
Murial Gray.
Kirsty Young,
Ally McCoist.
The Jesus and Mary Chain.
John Hannah.
Did you know that George Orwell was a patient in Hairmyres Hospital while writing Nineteen Eighty Four on the Isle of Jura? Turned out he had TB.
I was expecting photographs of these icons to be proudly displayed in Legends when I visited the bar but sadly I was disappointed.
I was there to attend the birthday party of a friend held in the upstairs function room. It was a great place to hold a soirée; loads of seats to relax in and some extra room for dancing. The buffet was provided by the delicious pizza place across the road.
The village is probably the nicest bit of East Kilbride, a town which is quite out the way for people commuting from Glasgow. However, a local private taxi service took us home cheaply, even though we had to wait for a while.
