Who is the Muffin Man, and does he really live on Drury Lane? Has anybody met him?
user
The Muffin Man is a traditional English nursery rhyme and folk song dating back to the 18th century. The lyrics tell the story of a muffin man who lived on Drury Lane. However, it is not clear if there was a real-life muffin man who lived on Drury Lane or if the character is simply a fictional creation.

There is no evidence that anyone has ever met the Muffin Man of the song, and it is likely that the character is a fictional representation. The song has been passed down through generations and is now a well-known and beloved nursery rhyme enjoyed by children and adults alike.

Why is he known for muffins?
user
People in the time period when this nursery rhyme was created usually were known for their job. In the case of the muffin man, he was the person who would deliver English muffins to people all around his neighborhood. It would be similar to asking someone if they know the "milk man".
