Duke of York in City of London, Westminster

I recently visited The Duke of York and loved its cosy atmosphere with dark wood interiors and etched glass. I've added it to my barguide.london site too!

Popped in for pint to wait for friends - pint and side very cheap, lovely large portion of fries Furniture bit tired but but nice atmosphere and reasonable prices

Lovely afternoon/evening spent yesterday. Four of us. Good food, decent prices. Would defo recommend. Staff were all efficient & welcoming. POPPY was exceptionally attentive. Will happily pop in if I’m in the area again. Thumbs up..!!!👍👍

The place to go after the cricket. Have never been on a ‘normal’ day or for food but maybe one day…

Old fashioned pub experience with good wholesome food and drinks. Well worth a visit outside of the more expensive eateries.

Great pleasure visiting this wonderful pub(The Duke of York) . Most highly recommended. Great food, I ordered the King Prawns, as you can see in the attached photographs, absolutely delicious, thanks chef 🙏 thanks to the lady and gentleman behind the bar too (Sorry I didn't catch your names)👍🏾 but you were both lovely. Thanks, again, and I will be returning, very soon!

It is a typical London pub. Not too busy. Great place to meet friends

A great pub. Stopped in after seeing Abbey Road. Just a short walk from St. Johns Wood

Nice atmosphere, one of my favourite pub. The food is deliscious and friendly place.

Great little pub, good food, polite and friendly staff.

It’s been approximately 1y since my partner and I come regularly to our neighborhood pub. Crowd is mixed but mostly educated, polite and local. Vibe is cool, relaxed and makes you feel at ease. Cricket enthusiasts can gather around after matches at Lord’s but apart from that quite peaceful. Both during Winter for a casual evening drink, or during Summer for a late afternoon beer after work, staff is friendly and tries to accommodate your food orders till 8/8:30pm. Special highlight to Sofia and Dale, both incredibly friendly and always accommodating your requests, with a smile on their face, talking to you, remembering you if you become a regular. Great customer service, and so much fun! Definitely a must-go if you are in the area, for some nice beer, gin or whiskey, as well as tasty pub food!

Racist establishment (I guess the inclusion flag outside is meant to be ironic). A staff member at the pub became very hostile to me and my friends and harassed us when we were looking for a seat. She wears a nose ring and when we told her we know and we're just looking for a seat she said she works here with a very threatening stare. She picked on us of all people. There were tonnes of people standing around...she then followed us out as well and kept staring and sneering at us and pointing at us while speaking to other people till we left. There was no need for such uncivilised and hostile treatment. We stood in front of the screen while looking for seats for 4 minutes at worst and the game wasn't even on and we left after 10 minutes of her attacks. Apparently we couldn't stand while looking for a decent place to sit while she reserved seats. Tried to pull away some seats 10 meters from her and she said we can't sit there either apparently (nobody was waiting on them)

Nice pub near St John’s Wood underground station, and just round the corner from Lords cricket ground. The bar staff and locals seem friendly enough. Didn’t sit inside, but was pleasant enough sitting outside having a few beers. The pub was busy inside with people eating their evening meal, so I guess the food is of a good standard, even though I didn’t try it out myself this time.

We called in for a couple of hours during the Test match today and I was lucky enough to be served by Ethel, who was friendly and smiley ☺️ and made my day. Thanks Ethel!

Great pub experience, especially the atmosphere.

Staff too engrossed in each other and their phone apps to be bothered about the customers. Ordered a steak and wanted a Merlot - no Merlot. Ordered a cheesecake with ice cream - no ice cream. No one asked if everything was alright. No one asked if I wanted a dessert. Coffee was undrinkable so I left it. Apart from that it was ok.

Very busy on match days but a lovely pub nonetheless

Riquísimo, comida londinense, precios aceptables. Para turistas es una buena opción!! Lo hicimos después de Abby Road.

A pub that I used to frequent almost 30 years ago. The interior is beautiful and there are tables where it is easy to eat. This is a pub where you can't go wrong with the quality of the food. There are many locals here, so you can enjoy the local taste of London.

Reasonable pub for a little knock before a visit to Lords. Bar staff were very prompt but a bit shouty. Not one for a morning head. St John's Wood prices, obvs.

This is a lovely pub with the coolest people working there. Prices are good. Food is yummy, those Hallumi fríes are espectacular. The vibe is nice, the neighbourhood is amazing.

Good pub. They have good prices for drinks.

Friendly, typically English, there are people so recommendable. I really like it, I come with my brother when I'm in London and according to my availability

C'est une chaine de restaurant, l'ambiance est correcte, mais la bouffe pas terrible. Ma femme a pris une salade de burrata qui étais presque congelé a son arrivée a la table, moi un combo crevette fish and chip. Frite molle et sans saveur, poisson et crevette bien ordinaire. pour le prix j'aurais du aller un hamburger! Peut-etre que le bar est intéressant mais oublier la bouffe

The people who serve are half intolerant.

I had my first Shepherd's pie ever and it was delicious! Can't stop talking about it 😆 Lovely place, great service and food, even under construction 🚧

Had the double burger and chips. Was 😋delicious 😋.

It's a very busy pub, not too bad if you book back room if you're in a group.

Very nice pub, friendly staff, nice drinks and food is also pretty good.

Really nice pub. Would have given a higher rating if we hadn’t had to raise our voices over the loud music to hear each other’s conversations. It could go from being a really good pub to a fabulous pub if they just turned it down 15%.

Coffee not amazing unfortunately

It is heartening to see one last pub standing on SJW.

Had a pint here and sat outside but the inside seemed lovely too! Great music and a kind of northern lights light projection on the ceiling! The doors were salon type with no handles so good for carrying pints through

Outstanding !!!! Had what I believe to be the best Streak & Ale Pie in all of my 7 visits to London. Not only was the grub outstanding, the service and ambiance also !!!

Upon arrival was greeted with a smile by the bar staff on shift. Group of friendly, talkative staff which are helpful when you come to them with a question about facilities in the establishment . Very clean and organised. Food was great , portions are very filling. Would recommend !!

What a gem! Came for some lunch and drinks on the weekend and couldn’t be happier ! Thank you Lucy and team for looking after us!

Great spot right around the corner from Abbey Rd., Studios. My wife and I had lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. Great, classic pub outside of London.

Excellent Sunday roast and best Yorkshire puddings I’ve had for a long time! For traditional pub grub done well definitely recommend 💯

High quality staff. Chicken burger was immaculate.

A bit pricy for food, but when enjoying a pint I wouldn't choose another place!

St John's Wood has its charms, and most of them are expensive. So, don't expect a cheapo experience at the Duke of York, but do expect thoroughly enjoyable food and drink in a relaxed and civilised atmosphere. Quick note: Some of the real ales are a bit obscure, but staff always offer a taste before you decide on your pint.

Really great service and lovely energy from Becca, Danielle and Daisy and really nice atmosphere overall :)

Very lively pub. Great selection of alcohol across the board. Eclectic mix of clientele and lovely staff. A cosy indoor space that I will certainly return to.

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Great cup of muled wine.

Great food good service and one of the best burgers I ever ate.

Great place for groups, good service, and tasty food. I appreciate how accommodating they are to my assistance dog. Frequent customer and will always return.

Busy popular pub in St John's Wood High Street. Rather noisy on my visit so conversation was difficult.

Interesting room behind the bar

Friendly pub in St John's Wood. Serves a decent pint of Guinness. Stopped serving at 10 pm on Tuesday evening due to some issue, so we had to forgo our final pint! We shall return.

Today i experienced a very miserable staff...no smile , curt answers. They looked incredible sad of working

Standard pub in a good part of St John’s Wood. Construction outside is a bit of a nuisance but out of the landlords control. Recommended for a pit stop and a drink

Lovely London pub. Not tried the food but love the after work atmosphere.

Clean, cosy pub and quick service

Good place to grab a drink (though I'd recommend a pint or one of their mocktails) after work or just in a random afternoon/evening. The staff were friendly and quick to answer any questions. The place was moderately busy when we arrived (around 5p) with minimal indoor seats available, and if anything seemed busier even we left 2 hours later after food and drinks.

Good pint prices for 2023! Fab service and really respected the server who ran down the road to give me the bag I’d left there! Thank you so much!!

Can't remember the last time I had such unfriendly service, bordering on rude, when ordering a drink from the guy at the bar. "Hi, how are you?" Grumpy look, nothing said. No "What can I get you?" or anything similar. "Looks like summer's over (it was cold and raining)." Sullen look, maybe like I was speaking a foreign language. Ordered a pint. "Six twenty-five (or whatever it was)." "Sorry?" (Expecting a repeat but with "please" at the end.) Grumpier look. "Six twenty-five." Finished my drink and went somewhere else.

What a lovely place! Delicious domestic food and the best service ever from Sofia.

Service is ok , ordered fish and chips, just ok, much better available elsewhere.

Great service and one of my favorite sunday roasts in London!

Nice little pub with good food.

Great chill pub, good variety of draughts and nice food options

Great atmosphere, cozy, great to have a date or drink with friends!!!Recommend.

Excellent drinks, good vibes, great food & excellent hospitality, Music is good! In cold weather enjoy there shepherds pie and some nice single malts or hot Todi!

Great vibe pub in very vibrant area. Good selection of drinks, with excellent food. Nice staff.

A delightful pub with a cozy ambiance and friendly staff.

Cool place. St John Wood's main pub. Lovely area.

Lekkere rock&roll muziek en goed gevulde biertjes

Great pub that gets very busy when the cricket is on, service is fast and we were lucky we got a seat.

Location is decent with good standing space outside the pub during nice weather. Pricey at over £7 a pint for most draughts.

Good, fresh food an nice waitress

Best fried squid i has. Tasty........

Good experience, excellent service and good pub food. We all had fish & chips which was enjoyable. Service- have to say that it was outstanding- thank you.

The price for the product is criminal. I paid £21 for a tepid roast which consisted of one carrot, some uncooked sprouts, some quite nice potatoes and an overdone Yorkshire pudding. Extra veggies were £6 on top of that. My cousin paid for pigs in blankets and received four disgusting cocktail sausages wrapped in bacon for £6. The waitress didn’t know the beer menu which is poor considering the choice is small. The place has a decent following and was relatively busy so for some it clearly ticks the boxes. But not for me. I’m still shocked by the cost. Also they add in a service charge which really annoys me. I’m a good tipper! Don’t assume I won’t tip! If you insist on adding on a shameful hidden cost then just do it up front and add it to the price on the menu! A very poor pub.

We met here for a drink before heading out for a meal. The pub was quiet which was good for us. I had ginger beer but my friends had lager and bitter. We came back early evening but it was so busy that we didn't stay.

Popped in for a drink on our way to the cricket, 6 pints, £42, I assume they don't charge £7 a pint every day, but won't visit again.

It’s a bar in the center of town. The food was good, but the prices are on the high side. The drinks are in line with other pubs in the area.

We were enjoying a pleasant walk around St Johns Wood and called in The Duke of York for a drink. The Barman was in the wrong environment, he was miserable, expressionless and unwelcoming. I ordered a Coke and a Tonic Water and that seemed to deepen his indignation. He served the coke in a glass and just put a bottle of tonic in front of us. I almost laughed and asked him for a glass. He silently nonchalantly slid a glass over. I didn't want to unsettle him further by asking for ice and lemon.

Went here after the cricket, as you can imagine it’s quite busy on a match day which might suggest why the bar staff can seemingly say and do as they please, it’s pure arrogance. I gave a simple order to the man behind the bar: 1 Guinness, 1 Birra Moretti and a Vodka lemonade. My brother who was standing next to me, requested to add lime cordial to the vodka lemonade. We noticed the barman then grabbed a fourth cup and started pouring vodka into it. Realising that he’s misunderstood the request, we stopped him to avoid more waste. He slammed the cup down and began waving his arms around in a stroppy attitude infested meltdown. When I challenged his behaviour, another barman told me “watch it mate” and I was very much made to feel I had done something horribly wrong. It was one of them incidents that i wish I was recording. Mistakes happen. It was a busy bar on a hot day and I completely accept that…but Christ alive do not blame the customer for your mistake and then follow it up acting like a petulant brat, horrendous customer service in what was otherwise a nice bar.

Visited here today for the first time. A nice little place but the member of staff with the Apollo 11 jumper who served us could do with some people skills. It’s not hard to smile and make new customers feel welcomed.

This pub used to be packed , particularly on a Sunday . We were there yesterday for Sunday lunch and it was nearly empty ! I now understand why ! No Sunday roasts on offer as they had "supply issues ". The remaining menu offered limited choice. 3 of us had burgers and they were NOT good !! We all have uncomfortable stomachs last evening and this morning. Not food poisining , but close !

When we're in the area we always visit this pub. To be fair, it's always been brilliant. However, it's under new management and it's even better now. Nice wine list, not expensive. Good beers and they serve food too. The customer service is amazing. One special feature I liked was, rather than bar staff all being behind the bar itself, a couple of them are out front roaming. When they spot you've nearly finished your drink they pop over and ask if you want another and they'll bring it over. Genius idea! Much more civilised. Saves having to stand at a bar waiting to be served. It's how they do things on the continent and I'm pleased the new management have started doing it here.

Excellent haunt!!! Good service and good atmosphere. Enjoyed my time and will return. Food is good too and I would give it a try

Been coming here mainly during test matches for many years. Always good service and amazing food. A warm welcome by Enzo the previous manager. Went yesterday during the Test match. Poor wine choices, in fact half the wines on the list were unavailable. Wine served in very cheap thin plastic glasses. Condiments stuffed into cheap plastic cups. Burger horribly dry and over done. Unfriendly staff and a new management team seemingly uninterested. COVID seems a convenient excuse but I doubt it! We won’t be going back.

We visit St John's every few months for a special meal at Oslo Court and go into The Ordinance pub for pre/post meal drinks. However, The Ordinance had a sign up, not open until 1pm so we looked for somewhere else. Glad we did! This...

Absolute shocker of a pub. Visited twice in the last month. Place looks tired inside, manager is an absolute scruff bag. St. John’s Wood deserves more than this. One of the only pubs I have visited that sells no real ale (my grandad was disappointed)....yet...

I recently took three friends there while our lockdown was relaxed. It was my first outing inside anywhere during the pandemic. The staff and absolutely delightful, jolly, helpful and efficient and they have taken every possible precaution to ensure the safety of patrons. You wear...

I went into this pub yesterday and asked if I could book a table for 8 pm for dinner for two tonight. The lady who took care of me was very pleasant and professional. She took my personal details and confirmed the booking. When I...

This pub has been my favourite and my local go to for the last 10 years. It has recently changed ownership and I'm so upset to have experienced that it has changed completely. The food was still good (apparently they kept the same chef), the...

We were in St John's Wood waiting for a family member who had a hospital appointment. We both needed a wee and saw this pub, so we went in, ordered coffee and used the very clean facilities. The staff were very friendly (unusual for London!)...

It’s my favourite place in Saint John’s Wood and I must say it’s my favourite PUB in the whole London. The food it’s really good, it’s a Gastro Pub, not a chain, and it maintains its own style. The staff is the better staff that...

We've been here a few times for both lunch and dinner and the food is always great and the staff are always lovely.

Can’t give enough praise for this pub that serves delicious ribeye steaks which gets us back here time and again. Last visit was in January 2020 with my son and it was very satisfying and memorable. We hope to be back again one day soon...

After an appointment in St John’s Wood, my friend and I stopped by in the High St. to have lunch. The Duke of York was located in the corner and looked inviting. The traditional pie was great and the portion was rather generous. I commented...

I was just passing by the area and desperately needed to use the toilets and went in and asked a member of staff young lady she was very polite and showed where the toilets were. My hubby has been to pub few times. With such...

Lovely little local pub with a terrific menu of local favorites; great , friendly service and a cool , mixed local crowd.

Visited after a 'Beatles walk' and we were revived by some decent beer, wine and food. Had a fantastic artichoke and philli cheese dip as part of shared starter platter and mains were substantial particularly the pies and chips (wedges really). I had an ostrich...

Overall a nice place, the staff are friendly and accommodating, even being able to tell me which dishes can be prepared gluten free. Food is good, although I feel that their burgers are probably better that most of the other items on their menu.

Lovely place for great food and date night!! Love this place!

Whenever we feel like a really "good nosh" this is our local 'go to' favourite! The chef really knows what he is doing and last night's fish and chips and prawn linguini were a perfect example. The only down side is that it is very...

New addition of a lamb shank was great Place has a lot of further potential to add a broader menu as they have good cooking
