    I had the fish and chips and a pint of Guinness. Lori had the burger. The fish and chips was spectacular as was the Guinness. This place has great history. It's been in existence since 1780. Jim is the Assistant Proprietor. hey SERVICES is spectacular. What an amazing guy I would definitely come back here again and again.

    Everything you'd hope for in a classic London pub--hearty food, warm and friendly service, and perfectly cold pints. The fish and chips were massive and crispy, while the sausage roll was nothing short of divine. A must-visit if you're looking for the real pub experience.

    Beef pie, chips and extra gravy
    Ruby B.

    4.3 overall. We wandered into the Buckingham Arms after visiting the palace. It was our daily quest to visit as many pubs as possible during our visit to London. Beautiful decor and details, same as all the London pubs we've visited. The bar area was gorgeous. I ordered the fish and chips. Fish was tasty and crispy, but too much batter for my preference. The chips were okay too. The smashed peas were dry and crusty as if they been sitting around too long. The flavor was good though. My hubby ordered the beef pie and he said it was just okay. The extra side of gravy he ordered helped to add extra flavor and enriched it. Clearly we were probably very noticeably tourists, so we didn't get the warmest welcome or interactions as the local customers did. But it was an okay lunch and we were just happy to be there trying the local fare.

    Good times!

    Wow, stumbled on this GEM of a pub after visiting Buckingham Palace. Loved the authentic traditional London pub setting - very cool vibe. The beers and food were delicious! Salads were huge and fresh and tasty, The fish and chips were really good. Best of all, our experience with Jim! He is truly delightful -- great wit and spot on service. He alone rates 5 stars. I highly highly recommend this pub to anyone in the area, for just a beer or full on meal.

    Venison pie

    Nice pub near the place. Today was the London marathon and it was nice as a nonparticipating person to pop in for a pint. The venison pie was fantastic but after a several miles trek this morning being hungry helped. Would be happy to return.

    The Sunday king's roast was excellent and more than enough for two people. The sausages over mashed potatoes were not bad, but not great either. The fries were good. The service was excellent. The decor was very cool and seemed like a legit pub, even though it seemed to be completely full of tourists. It was about a five minute walk from Buckingham Palace and was family friendly.

    Nice pub! It was pretty busy on a Sunday but well worth it. We shared the scotch egg and sausage roll, both were really tasty! I had the beef Sunday roast. It was a large portion and tasty. I sampled the roast option with the chicken and pork belly, also yummy!

    Fish and chips and scotch eggs.

    Found this place by accident because I was just looking for a light snack and a drink. The scotch eggs were lighter than I thought and so good! The fish and chips were amazingly crispy! The most crispy I've had yet and it was really good. Service was okay nothing fancy but nice enough. It felt like a typical local pub but really impressed with the food.

    The interior and exterior of the pub.

    Outstanding!!! The food was terrific and the cask beer even better. The proprietors were so friendly and accommodating for our group of 9. What a great place for lunch after watching the changing of the guard at the palace. Thanks for such a great experience!

    If you're looking for good food service, this is not your place. If you're looking for a good pub, this is your place! We stopped here for food and got seated immediately. We weren't told how to order or asked if we wanted drinks. After waiting for awhile, I went to the bar to order. The food was delicious. A server never came to give us our check either. I had to go to the bar to pay and the bartender (that I ordered food from) seemed confused why I was asking to pay my check. I could have easily just walked out. It did get really busy around 6pm. It gets very noisy to the point that you can't hear your partner.

    Queen's roast
    Carmela N.

    Great option for a roast to share. Queen roast fed 3 people comfortably. Seating is limited for dinning. Call ahead to save your table.

    Beer and a Spritz

    See all
