This pub is a real find within spitting distance of Paddington station, The Cleveland Arms is a proper pub, eclectically decorated, nestling within an area full of large white Georgian townhouses. It is not particularly big,...
Given the rather drastic refits they've overseen in the last year or so, we were slightly concerned to see what Young's would do to the Mitre's Victorian interior. So, deep breaths were taken and thanks given, when we...
