The Myddleton Arms, Canonbury, N1

Tris C left this review about The Myddleton Arms

Situated in lovely Canonbury, overlooking the remainder of the New River and completed in 1613 by Sir Hugh Myddleton after whom this pub is named. This Grade II-listed ex-Courage pub was given a sympathetic makeover a couple of years ago. It's bare boarded with mixed furniture and muted music. One TV was spotted but was off. The colour scheme is contemporary and a model aircraft hangs from the ceiling. There's an upright piano and a small room to the rear with a working fireplace making a welcome addition on a chilly evening. There's a decent beer garden to the rear too with a little snug area, resembling a sauna.
Friendly staff, serving Mighty Oak Brewing's Kings at £2.10 a half. Also on offer were Adnams Ghost Ship (£4.00 a pint) and two other pumps, not recorded.
Definitely worth a visit if in N1 and is one of the borough's best pubs, especially when combined with the pleasant walk taking in the Island Queen en route to the Charles Lamb. Normal opening times now employed, the *at least* 11.00 pm licence on Sunday extending to midnight or beyond are a bonus.
