About Myddleton Arms
Traditional Victorian pub with a compact terrace, streetside seating and guest ales on tap.
Smallish two-bar very traditional pub of probably Victorian origin on a main trunk road. The bar occupies a central space of horseshoe shape and it and the bar back are of interest of the period as well as old features in the windows (coloured glass and etched glass) and the cellar opening. A visitor has said, "that the manager is from Suffolk and insists on good beer and keeping the lines clean."
Named after Sir Hugh Myddleton, who cut the New River, to bring water from Hertfordshire to London. Split level garden with shelter and heating. Pleasant walled garden at the rear accessible by steps down from the bar.

Think I found my new favorite pub in all of London. The vibes and atmosphere are incredible and Everyone, from punters to the staff make the environment one that you just don’t want to leave! Really good energy, great bites to eat and reasonably priced beer. The staff are a lot of fun and you can tell they care about each other which makes it that much more inviting :) will be coming here again and again.

Wonderful pub. Solid beer and drink selection. Love the simple menu. Only a few options but they do everything incredibly well. Both the burger and chicken burger are bomb. Get a side of fries as well. 10/10 will eat and drink again.

Good pub, quite cramped on a Friday night and inside. Could be a bit bigger ideally but overall a good pub with a nice selection of beers and cider. Burgers smelt very good - didn’t eat

Came in for a quick one because my train was cancelled and had half an hour to kill. Waited 12 minutes to be served and the place wasn’t even busy. Staff rude and incompetent, the epitome of the bad side of London pubs. You have what looks like it could potentially be a very good little pub and don’t do it justice by having staff that can’t do the absolute basics and act like they’d rather be anywhere else. Bar was filthy, staff couldn’t keep track of orders or who was next when there were only a few people there.

I had my wedding reception here, so am a little biased to how brilliant this place is, but it is honestly such a lovely privately owned local pub with a fireplace for the winter months, absolutely amazing burgers and halloumi fries and the staff are absolute legends. Save a spot for me 🍻
