Following its sale by Harcourt Inns, the Hero of Maida in Maida Vale has closed. The pub dates from 1878 and was originally the Shirland Hotel. It is understood that the new owners are the Public House Group, who operate the Pelican in Notting Hill. Their plans for the Hero of Maida are not yet known. For older readers, this was, of course, once the Truscott Arms with its ten handpumps.
