Charming British Pub with Delectable Roasts!

Upon setting foot in the charming Buckingham Arms, just a stone's throw from the iconic Buckingham Palace, I quickly discovered why patrons have lavished praise over the years. The pub exudes an ambiance of warm conviviality mixed with the classic decor you imagine when thinking of a true London gem. And it must be said, the lamb pie and rump roast each warranted their fanfare—tender, flavorful, and hearty portions that make you appreciate British pub fare at its finest. Yet, it was perhaps the convivial atmosphere and the sensational selection of drinks that kept me settling deeper into my seat, pint after perfectly poured pint in hand.

Brimming with lively banter and faces genuinely happy to assist, the staff offer an attentive yet laid-back vibe reminiscent of meeting up with old friends. What truly punctuates a visit here is the insight and passion behind every crafted cocktail and the inspired dishes making rounds from the kitchen. Whether you're tucking into Scotch eggs evoking childhood Sunday lunches or indulging in seasonal beers on tap that you'll likely want to revisit, there's much to love here. For those conducting a pilgrimage through London's undulating geographical and cultural terrains, dropping by Buckingham Arms isn't just recommended—it's required. A delightful testament to what makes locals cherish their English pubs, amid a world constantly changing. — Milo Tastemaker
