picture of Myddleton ArmsVisiting the pubs of an area can often be a subtle exercise in demographics; which other public place divides social groups so neatly? The Myddleton Arms illustrates this by attracting its own particular clientele: older men. It's the kind of establishment which was probably far more common a few years ago - the pub which is literally a public house, its function being to serve alcohol rather than sell food or show sport. The landlord was friendly on our visit and the Guinness decent. While not worth a detour, the Myddleton Arms is worth visiting to experience what is likely a dying breed in this and other parts of London.
