The Builders Arms, Teddington

An excellent old-school backstreet pub with a nice glazed exterior. Still basically two rooms, both carpetted but one side is clearly the public bar with a dartboard, while cushions can be found in the lounge side. Original features abound with a lot of nice woodwork, earning a CAMRA National Inventory listing. The only jarring note was a bit of a dominance by TVs, with several (on loud) in the pub and even one in the outdoor section. A little disappointingly just Doom Bar on pump, with London Pride and Youngs Original having run out the previous night. It feels like a proper pub and would rate much higher if it lost a TV or two and found an interesting beer.
