Should we really be bothering ourselves with a pub in the middle of an estate, somewhere off the Wandsworth Road? Well, if you're of the opinion that the majority of London's interesting pubs are being airbrushed and sanitised out of existence, then yes, you should, for the Mawbey Arms is an unreconstructed, old time, boozer - the sort of gaff where the locals all know each other and the between-pint banter is well honed and not without interest (a detailed discussion of London's Elvis impersonators was in full swing when we visited). That's all very well, but there are a few other factors at work to commend this one, namely three real ales, a well-maintained interior and a dart board (which if perhaps a little inaccessible behind some tables and chairs, still looked like it takes a fairly regular pounding). Definitely a 3 pint pub if you're a local, we're leaving this one at a 2 until we visit it again (which we will).
