  “Only two screens, and the ITV Player repeatedly failed because of the internet connection. Nice enough pub, but if you’re planning to watch the football, I’d recommend somewhere that can actually show it.”

  “Booked table for small birthday drinks and were sad the kitchen closed at 8 before advertised with no warning. We were already queueing to order burgers when they just turned the ‘closed’ signed up. No remorse for the birthday peeps. Disengaged staff.”

  “Wow. Wow. Wow. The Myddleton Arms is a precious gem in North London. A welcoming, warm and comforting pub, with a lively and friendly atmosphere. My wife and I came here for their incredible cheese and wine night on Wednesday evening. £20 a head, a huuuuuuuuge plate of cheeses and premium crackers and 6 paired wines. Chris, who runs the cheese night, is a beautiful human being and super warm and friendly. What are you still reading this review for?!!!! Don't take my word for it, go and see for yourselves. You'll love every minute.”

  “The staff are lovely. Tasty burgers and fries - both vegan and meat options. There is live music on Sunday from 4pm-6pm (we thought the website said it went to 7pm so only caught the very end of the music).”

  “Excellent pub. Me and my partner came for the cheese and wine evening which was great. £20 for 6 generous glasses of different wines and unlimited, great quality cheese. The landlord (who was really nice) came over and explained the wines to us and had a great little chat. Super great experience and will be coming back next month for the same again!”

  “🚇 Highbury & Islington 🍺 £6.40 Amstel The Myddleton Arms is located in leafy Canonbury, Islington, in North London. The nearest Tube station is Highbury & Islington, Essex Road mainline station is also close by. This Grade II-listed pub, built in 1830 and remodelled in the mid-19th century, is named after Sir Hugh Myddelton—the engineer behind the New River, which he constructed to bring fresh water from Hertfordshire to London. This cosy, intimate pub has two adjoining bars. The front features traditional tables, banquette seating, eclectic art, a piano by the door, and a model aeroplane overhead. The mahogany counter and classic back bar add to the charm. The smaller rear bar has a working fireplace and a striking ceiling-height gantry above the servery. Out back, a few steps down lead to a decked beer garden with snug area and an outdoor kitchen called The New River Grill. The beer line-up features a selection of familiar favourites and includes one cask ale. I kept it simple and ordered an Amstel—my pint hit the spot, price point was a smidge above average. The food menu is straightforward, offering a range of burgers (including veggie and vegan options) and fries. Feeling peckish, I went for the Mydd Burger. It was juicy and flavourful—cue Samuel L. Jackson—and cost £11. I arrived around 6 p.m. on a bright and sunny Saturday evening in April. The pub was buzzing but still had a laid-back, relaxed local pub atmosphere. There was a good mix of punters from all walks of life. I settled into the back bar next to a friendly couple who live nearby. The service was first-class—everyone on duty was friendly, courteous, and upbeat. The pub regularly hosts live jazz, bring-your-own-vinyl nights, and lively Irish trad sessions. Stunning architecture, interesting decor, a good beer selection, juicy burgers, and a welcoming local pub feel—I couldn’t fault @myddletonarms and highly recommend a visit to this charming independent N1 pub. 📅 5th April 2025 If you want to see all my pub reviews in one place, head to @londonpubmap on Instagram. 🍻”

  “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 🍻”
