Morpeth Arms in City of London, Westminster

Lovely place. so nice to have a pub (and staff) who care about the history of the place they are in. I think I was 1 of about a dozen sets of tourist this lunchtime who asked about the old prison and the staff gleefully filled us all in. Food was delicious and service excellent too

A very nice pub, excellent service and lovely atmosphere

Came here for a roast with some friends and it was probably one of the most disappointing ones, I've had. The meat was overdone (all of ours) the veg were bland, the gravy watery, the Yorkshire pudding burnt and the cauliflower cheese just not nice in taste or texture. The glasses were dirty and the service slow. The food also didn't come at the same time probably due to them being understaffed. There was already no pork by 3:30pm. Very disappointing and definitely not worth coming for.

My absolute favourite place to be!

Lovely pub, incredible service. Had a chat with a few of the bartenders and they’re all incredibly friendly and helpful. Had the baked Camembert and it was absolutely perfect would highly recommend!!

The Morpeth Arms is such a great find! It’s a cozy, old-school pub with a really friendly vibe. The views of the Thames are a nice touch, and the staff make you feel right at home. They’ve got a solid selection of beers and the pub grub hits the spot—just what you want after a day out. If you’re after a proper London pub experience, this place is definitely worth a visit!

Such a nice pub, never too busy. Shout out to Lucy for her great service, super friendly.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere here and was served by very knowledgeable and welcoming staff. Delicious food and perfectly poured pints. Cheers!

Fabulous friendly local pub. The loveliest staff ever; Aliya, Miranda, Hope. Indy, Alexandra, Anthony. Sorry if I have not mentioned your name. Always feel welcome. Kitchen exquisite! Thank you K

Great pub. Lucy’s service is always above and beyond

Beautiful Pub in an amazing location. Great atmosphere, the staff made the experience even better. They were Amazing! Was nice to sit down overlooking the river and enjoy some good food in a cozy pub.

Had a lovely night at the pub great service lovely staff. Lucy was so friendly and had a great knowledge of the different beers.

lovely place, would recommend to everyone. cozy vibes, friendly staff and great food

One of my favourite pubs in London. A great spot by the river, charming outside space, perfect room, great beer and food. It ticks all the boxes you want from a pub and the manager seems really friendly. Recommended! Update: went back at the weekend and it was phenomenal. Thoroughly enjoyed. Food was great and everyone super friendly.

Great pub in such a good location with the museum, atmosphere is great and the food is really good 👍🏼

My absolute favourite pub in London! The staff makes it special every time

Great little find by the river! What a location and the staff are fantastic. The history in the cellars is awesome and it's very worth a check out if you're into old London stories! Had a quick chat with the landlord and he knew so much about the pub and surrounding area. A definite must!

Great pub with a lovely selection of beers - prices for London isn’t bad either! Landlord seemed lovely with a great knowledge of the beers and surrounding areas for suggestions. Bar staff who served us were great and friendly and both gave a warm welcome. Highly recommend and will be back when we visit London again.

lovely pub !! really great service, nice new winter menu and amazing/ friendly bar staff.

Read about this pub and the history with the old nearby prison, where convicts would be transported to Australia. And the old spies that would drink there. The staff are very friendly and have a lot of knowledge about history. Food was what we expected for pub grub, beer was excellent.

I love this place and the beautiful people that work here.

I went in but they didn't even pretend to see me. racism

Experienced racial discrimination Someone went in, but they didn't make eye contact, didn't say hello, and didn't tell me where to sit, so I felt so bad that I just left.

A great pub close to the river in a quiet residential area of Pimlico. Seating inside and outside and a private area to reserve upstairs. Good selection of drinks on tap and also food available. Great service. Usually busy in the evening with office crowd and so table booking is recommended if you want a seat. Very limited places to stand inside for groups more than three.

Lovely pub close to the Tate. We had lunch there - awesome Fish and chips and salad with makrel. Great beer selection. Nice outdoor seating. Great place to relax between events .🐟💂🍻

Nice staff but clearly understaffed. If you order a side, you shouldn’t have to wait 40 minutes for it. Changing it to a bit higher as the response was sound of them. The staff really are lovely.

4 real ales on offer. ALL undrinkable!

Enjoyed a nice afternoon pint, with fish & chips, onion rings, and broccolini. Nice cozy atmosphere with mellow background music. Bar staff, all 3 were remarkably pleasant & efficient.

A very welcoming place - beautiful inside and out! We both ordered the chestnut mushroom Wellington on their Sunday Roast menu and licked our plates clean! So delicious and earthy. Wish we had found Morpeth Arms at the beginning of our vacation. What a gem of a place. Thanks much to the lovely staff.

I had a great lunch today at the Morpeth Arms with a group for a business lunch. The Manager was incredibly accommodating and ensured our visit went absolutely smoothly. The food was great and quickly served and the history of the pub was fascinating! Thank you for all your help.

Just happened to be finishing a long walk along The Embankment as the pub was opening so my wife and i popped in for a pint, what a lovely place and the barmaid was so charming and obliging. Thoroughly recommend it. Regards Brian.

Brilliant service. Booking smooth and friendly bar staff. Wonderful historic setting and as we had supper upstairs, we could actually talk! Lovely meal. Thanks.

Delicious food, lovely vibe and Lucy gave us a tour of the prison tunnels underneath the pub! Amazing history connected with spying and the MI6 building over the river.

Definitely worth a visit! Thank you to Ant for taking the time to share some of the historical significance of the hotel and for taking us down to the cellars. This was greatly appreciated by us Aussies, being able to trace some of our convict past. A true gem on our London tour!

Visited this afternoon for a drink and to soak up the history of this unique pub. Great service and terrific interaction with the staff. As visiting Australians we must thank Ant for the fascinating and informative quick tour of the tunnels underneath and some appropriate stories. This place is great and well worth a visit!

Went here for a family Sunday lunch. The staff couldn't have been nicer and Lucy even showed us the underground cells where prisoners were held before being sent to Australia (see picture). We had the roast beef which was a generous portion with all the trimmings ( including great roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding). The beer is Youngs with at least two guest ales and there was a nice selection of red wine too. It is worth wandering around the pub including the upstairs 'Spy Room' with pictures of infamous members of that profession and from where you can spy on the MI6 building across the river. Very convenient for Millbank, the Tate Gallery and parliament in this delightful part of London.

A pleasant place to have a drink with great staff good atmosphere.

I always enjoyed fish and chips in pubs added bonus here you can have it with a pint of youngs original or neck oil

Unassuming pub in Millbank, very quiet and far from maddening crowds. It's Young's so good choice of drinks; didn't eat. Apparently, if you ask they can show you the prison cells underneath but didn't dare.

A great pub where we came to watch the Euros final, which England sadly lost. The experience though was great, with plenty of variety in terms of drinks and friendly staff.

I went to the pub's Bingo night. So much fun! The hosts were very entertaining as their characters. A good selection of prizes, with all proceeds going to charity. Looking forward to the next bingo night. 😀

Great place to grab a drink before or after a visit to the Tate Britain.

Very good traditional London pub with decent bar food and a relaxed vibe. Perfect location for Tate Britain and 20 minutes walk from The Oval.

🚇 Pimlico 🍺£6.15 Estrella Lager ❤️ May was a trifle moist but with inside service now available it was time to venture out and start visiting our beloved London Pubs once again. My son and I decided to have a crawl around Pimlico and pub number 3 was the @morpetharms . This pub was built in 1845 on the site of what was Millbank prison ond is situated on the north bank of the Thames just by Vauxhall bridge. The Morpeth is an elegant looking Victorian pub which sits alongside similar looking grand victorian houses on Millbank. Inside the elegance continues with dark wood floors, sumptuous leather sofas and tasteful decoration throughout. The pub is set out over two floors, we were sat upstairs as downstairs was busy but sitting upstairs has a bonus. Upstairs there are great views across the Thames where you can see the MI6 HQ and the tower residential building. There are pictures on the wall of spy’s like Guy Burgess who was a double agent for the soviets back in the 30’s. We were sat at a corner table and ordered a couple of pints rather than vodka martinis ( oh Yesch) which didn’t take long to arrive. The clientele was a mixed bunch from all walks of life which was great to see as you could assume that this is a posh pub with posh punters, but it’s not. . If your visiting the Tate or sightseeing around vauxhall bridge, this @youngspub is well worth a visit, it’s a quality pub that delivers an excellent convivial pub experience. . 📊 Information correct on visiting 21/05/21

Great traditional pub with a good beer and wine selection, friendly and 'product knowledgeable' staff. I will be back with friends.

This has become my local.The staff is great and friendly. Alex, Aliya and Sarah are just superstars. The food and drinks are great too.

Clean pub next stop Australia tell you all about Millbank Prison

Decent pub, good bit of outdoor seating. Friendly bar staff

Food was incredible. Warmed the soul! Crispy pie crust on the savoury meat pie and excellent steamed vegetables! It has a home cooked essence but with a much finer finished perfection. The entire meal was amazing! We will definitely return! My daughter is vegetarian. Her burger was also fantastic! She rarely completes her food but she devoured this dish. Excellent chef!

We booked the spy room for a football club awards evening. Our experience was fantastic. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room is a great space and the food was lovely. Five stars all around.

Visited this pub on the way to the Tate Britain Museum, which is only a five minute walk away. It's steeped in history connected to an old prison and spies. The upstairs dining room has views of MI6 and the Thames. I preferred to sit in the main bar downstairs as it was full of atmosphere, as it was a very busy aftetnoon. I was fortunate to get a table. The only letdown was the food. The chicken Leek pie had sold out so I opted for the bangers & crushed potatoes. The three sausages were fine, nothing special. The huge onion rings were crispy. The gravy was too thin. The new potatoes were so old I couldn't cut them. They had turned into dark rubber! I could have used them as plasticine! Thankfully there weren't too many of them. Other diners opted for small plates and I wish I had too. The chips, mac & cheese and brushetta looked much better than mine. The meal and one wine spritzer came to £25! 😒

Staff very nice,helpful too. Meal fab no complaints. Thankyou

Great location and well cooked (not over cooked) food. They catered for my wife's lactose intolerance with a good menu choice. On line booking was easy.

Excellent lunch. This was our second visit and the food was just as good. Great value and served by cheerful staff. Will definitely be going again.

Not sure what MI6 are doing because £7.55 for a pint is a real crime

Loved the unique Spooks basement bar with its live “ghost cam” feed adding a spooky twist to the experience. I've added it to my barguide.london site too!

Great food, I recommend the calamari squid and the scotch egg they are both FIRE 🔥. Service was impeccable especially from Indianna & Lucy. ❤️ Atmosphere is great from other customers to staff 👍

I've booked a lot of events over the years with the Morpeth, but the service when I went for lunch on Thursday was surly and woeful. Half an hour wait for food, we were told. OK we're only having starters. Still half an hour, came the growl back. No wonder the place was empty!

Went to this pub last night for first time with friends. Great atmosphere, very friendly staff!

Atrocious food. Menu online differs to menu in pub, then there were items unavailable. Chips tasted simultaneously freezer-burnt and grossly overcooked to looking dark brown and shattering on biting. Can't believe they let it off the pass. If your chef can't cook chips, I dread to think what anything more complicated is like.

Nice pub within walking distance from The Westminster (Hilton). Fish and Chips looked good. I had Sunday Roast and it was decent. Beer was nice and cold.

Friendly and efficient staff, good food and lovely atmosphere.

Nice place, chic with good drinks and service

Decent pub with excellent outdoor seating. Tasty steak bavette too.

We held a small private party at the Morpeth Arms to mark the departure of a member of our team. The Morpeth staff could not have been more helpful and wecloming. This is a lovely pub and the food and service were both excellent. Our private room had its own bar and heaps of Atmosphere. I would highly recommend the Morpeth Arms to anyone.

Lovely staff and delicious food. The manager was friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the pub and was kind enough to spend some time chatting to us. It was a great atmosphere in a nice location

best batterted hake i ever had. The batter is so crispy that it really makes a "crunch" at every bite. What I liked also are small details, like a grilled lemon for the deep fried calamari, the little wild fennel branch... Excellent service and beer too.

Quiet weekday lunchtime pint from Five Stars brewery - a London brewery. Beer in excellent condition.

We stopped in for a quick beer and went upstairs to the Spying Room. The pub is opposite MI6 which you can see from the windows. The theme of the pub is based on the four infamous Cambridge spies of the 1960s: Philby, Blunt, Maclean and Burgess. All very atmospheric - and the beer wasn't bad either!

Great pub, food tastes great and the service is top notch. We will be back!

Dropped in for lunch. Fabulous service and knowledgeable about coeliac requirements. Such a bonus at a pub. The staff were so helpful. Recommend and would go again

It's a Youngs pub so the selection of ale isn't great.

Food was good. App to order food was bad. I'm giving the service 3 stars for that reason. No one wants to sign into an app just to order food.

Really welcoming with nice food and good service.

Great food nice little secret in the basement 😉

Typical English pub, with a wide quality of beers on tap!!!!

Nice pub serving Young's beers.

Enjoyable Sunday roast, excellent IPA, served in a friendly and efficient way.Comfortable atmosphere and ambience of a real London pub

A really great local pub with a great vibe but also great location. I must say Miranda was an absolute delight when we last visited, she made such a simple evening so special. Will be back!

I came in on Saturday at 3 pm, they said there would be a 30 minute delay in the kitchen. I had to slam beer instead of a burger, which, as you know, is the second bread...

This is was mine and my husband’s first trip to a pub since moving to London and we already feel at home. Truly a wonderful experience, the food and drink were delightful (highly recommend the burger). Can’t get enough of the atmosphere and top notch service! The lovely Miranda took care of us all night and gave us lots of interesting tidbits about the building’s history. Can’t wait to make this place our new local and see some ghosts!

Delicious burger and fish and chips. Great stop if you are visiting Tate Britian (by the way not the same as Tate Modern for you Americans going to Sargent exhibit...learned the hard way). Nice atmosphere and great service

miranda really took care of me and my elderly mother, amazing service and atmosphere

A great find! 5 mins from our hotel. Food great. Good range of drinks and a great atmosphere. Very popular but small, so you need to be lucky at dinner time. It has some history and is, apparently, haunted! Keep your eyes out for 007 😆

Great English pub, good chicken dinner. Lovely warm friendly staff

Nice family bar. Super expensive for food, but it tasted good - not frozen!

Lovely pub with an interesting history and we were helped by Miranda who was friendly, helpful and efficient.

Great food , Great atmosphere , worth a visit

There are various types of draft beer. The clientele seemed to be academic, perhaps because there was an art university nearby. It was very comfortable.

Nice pub in good location near river and Tate Britain. Often busy, outside tables good in warm weather.

Very friendly pub atmosphere... the service isn't crazy and the food is worthy of what you'd expect from a pub... and above all, it's not cheap!

This area is completely bereft of places to eat and drink but the Morpeth Arms is a welcome exception. Been coming here occasionally since the 90s Pretty standard Young's pub, but pretty light and spacious and recommended

Great pub, nice choice of ales.

Very close to Tate Britain, by the Thames, we indulged in a delightful family Sunday Roast. The meat was delicious and plentiful, accompanied by excellent service. Despite having a baby with us, we were seated in the Spy Room (2nd floor), and regarding any lingering spirits, if they existed, we likely enjoyed them as well.

We were at the Morpeth arts for a duo leaving drinks. It was fantastic really really good vibes and the bar people worked very very hard and were really accommodating in particular Marco from Bondi. Australia was very nice and we appreciated this service very much thank you Morpeth Arms for an incredible night, thank you recommend this place enough for vibes and also the chips were 10 out of 10

Went for lunch on Christmas Day The service and the food were amazing. The artichoke tart, apple & figg crumble and chocolate mousse were particlarly good. A really cool pub with great atmoshere. As we are new to the UK(& away from family), the hosts went out of their way with some special touches to make the experience memorable. Thank you for a great day and Merry Christmas!

Came back for Christmas eve roast. Same staff, same brilliant service. Love how the team laugh and have fun together and make everyone feel a part of it. Manager took my friends for the tour of the haunted cellars as well. Such a great pub

We had an excellent Xmas party in their private room for 30+ people. Food and staff were great. Highly recommend

Great pub and great team. Had a great Christmas party in the spying room.

We recently had the pleasure of enjoying a Christmas dinner at the Morpeth Arms, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The festive spirit was palpable, adding to the overall charm of the pub. The food surpassed my expectations. I highly recommend the Morpeth Arms for anyone seeking a perfect blend of excellent service, a great ambiance, and flavorful cuisine.
