Sussex Arms in City of London, Westminster

Great food, amazing beer and cozy vibes in a not so crowded area.

Interesting boozer with airplane seats and lots of live sport. Happy enough for the kids to be in there, it was welcoming and funky. Good spot.

Came for quick drink, modern trendy bar. Good vibe. Lots of drinks at typical London prices. Service was exceptional, Ash is a real credit to the place, friendly, helpful and engaging.

V friendly funny bar man, great music, open late. Great vibe. G, Ire.

What a great little find this is. A very short walk from Paddington Station and easy to find. The décor is great, especially for aircraft enthusiasts who can sit in seats from concord whilst using an emergency exit door as a table. They have a good selection of alcohol at typical London prices, so you aren't paying extra for the experience. We did eat there so I don't know what the food is like. Recommend, even if it's for a quick pint, just to get to sit in those seats!!!!

This is a nice modern looking pub with an aviation theme. It is reasonably priced for the area, I ordered a pint of Becks at £5.40. They had a reasonable whisky selection of around 15 types but I did not see any cask pumps although London Pride was featured on the menu. They have a small exterior seating area. The walls are bare brick whilst the ceiling is studded wood, giving it a nice effect. There are various aviation knickknacks dottted around, including original Concorde seats. The service was good. Of special interest to the less mobile is that in addition to the stairs there is a lift to the basement toilets. The large windows give it a bright feel. I like this pub, my original impression was ok, but the more I looked around the more I came to appreciate the effort that has gone into making this pub rather different to others nearby.

Why Oh Why do you not Take Scottish Sterling. Deary Me. A Joke.

I went in for a drink one night. I liked it. Seems to be a typical British pub.

Fab pub within walking distance of Paddington station and later opening than most of the pubs in the area

I can only recommend. Pleasant atmosphere and service. The bar is interestingly tuned to the jet theme, which gives the space a special flair. There is a jukebox with oldies, which goes well with the overall feel. They really have enough taprooms! I will definitely stop here again on my next trip to London.

The atmosphere was brilliant and it stays open a little later than the neighbouring pubs. The decor is wid and the staff are attentive.

Nice atmosphere, music is loud which I like! Just bear it in mind if it’s not your thing! Decent drinks selection. Ample seating

Lovely little bar, nice theme of flight information style signage around the place. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Good Pub, friendly and fast service, good for every day. One of my favorite Pubs near Hyde Park.

Good service and good prices!!!! Bar inspired by an airport, even with some airplane seats, for London the prices are very good, good decoration and cheap

Went into the pub last night with friends and the staff were very rude and we felt like it was a chore for them serving us ! , definitely won’t be going there again !

Great pub. Good service and the steak & ale pie was delicious. Be sure to have reservations for the evening times. Good beer selection.

Nice place and good music, specially because you can also choose the songs that'll play

Très belle expérience dans ce pub à la déco atypique. Très bonne ambiance avec personnel sympathique . Proche de la gare de Paddington .

The feeling here is absolutely immaculate. We loved it here and the music was great too. Would 100% recommend!!

Delicious 🤤 unusual interior 👍 Friendly service ☺️ Absolutely worth a visit.

Visited as it was closed to our hotel. Worth a visit to say that you sat in seats that were once on Concorde. Worth a visit for the novelty value in this aviation themed pub

Pub carino in ottima zona ma personale femminile scortese..Consiglio di migliorare il servizio al cliente. ........

This was a very accommodating pub, turned up at 10:30 and they were more than happy to serve us a pint with a smile. In addition, they informed us about after hours joints in the area. Will be back!

Staff brilliant maxine great personality friendly atmosphere always welcomed when we go recommend you give it a try and say you have sat on concorde seats

Really cool flip board showing beers and the time. The interior is all concord plane parts. The staff is really welcoming and helpful. I spend a few days grabbing a pint here before heading off to do activities.

I was staying near this bar so I used it. It's quite lively at night. The interior was airplane themed. I entered the store during the day when it was empty just for drinks. There were many types of beer and alcohol, but not many types of soft drinks. I was inside because the terrace seats were occupied, but the music was a little loud. The staff's response was good. Even if you are a single woman, there is no problem during the day. It's quite lively at night.

One of the greatest pub experiences I have had in my life. Big thanks and apprectiation to Farris, one of the most hospital persons I have meet in my life!

Lovely little pub on the way to Paddington Station, modern just had a quick pint so didn't try the food maybe next time. Average London prices. Would come back again.

Fun pub near Paddington station cold beers and friendly staff. Prices were decent considering it was a very busy area with travelers and tourists.

Great experience, pretty close to paddington station, and not so populated. Staff is nice

Had a blast watching the match here!

Do you want to drink a beer.... Perfect!

We come every time we are in London. 👍

Best pub around Sussex Gardens area,prices great and great banter with locals and staff.

Interesting bar, goes all out with the aviation theme.

Incredible set menu for lunch. Superb cocktails. Fantastic wine list.

Great pub nice and close to Paddington Station. Fantastic service 👏

A beautiful pup with a very nice service

We thought we'd try a local pub near our accommodation and found out they don't serve food. The aviation seats take up a lot of space and don't look that comfortable.

🚇 Paddington 🍺 £5.40 Becks An Aviation Themed Pub. The Sussex Arms is situated in the backstreets of Paddington, set amongst the numerous hotels located in the area. The nearest Tube is Paddington, it’s a three minute stroll to get here. This pub was built in 1852 as the Sussex Hotel. The pub is owned and run by Stylotel which is located across the road on Sussex Gardens. This is a very unique pub, in that it is aviation themed. The main bar area is square-shaped with a small secluded room called The Business Lounge located at the rear. The walls are bare brick with large TVs to the left and right with one above the bar. Also around the walls are different parts of aircraft including an Airbus A320 fuselage and wing edge. The centre piece of this pub are the original @british_airways Concorde seats complete with Airbus A320 exit doors table. The lighting does make the bar area feel a bit clubby but this pub is full of quirky features. The beer selection was all keg and included some beers from Chicago based brewers @gooseisland . I decided on a pint of Becks, you don’t see it too often on tap these days. My pint was excellent, price point was great considering the area. There is no food menu available. I visited on a Friday afternoon for an afterwork pint. The atmosphere was relaxed with a couple of solo drinkers and a group of chaps from the USA. The service here was top drawer, the member of staff on duty was welcoming, friendly and was great to have a chat with. Visiting The Sussex Arms wasn’t your usual pub experience. The airplane parts and the mood lighting felt like I was in a club/bar on holiday. The beer choice was decent enough and the price point was great considering the tourists that visit the area. This pub is not one for the traditionalist but I would definitely recommend a visit for trying a different pub experience. ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 16.02.24

I did not order anything but went here with company that did. Super quick and attentive staff but too loud music.

Friendly staff, great atmosphere, nicely decorated. Only grump was the steps going down to the toilet

Great little modern pub. Friendly and lively croud.

Very good for a nightcap, great interior with original aircraft parts.

Love this place. Great service. TV screens for events. And an airplane theme.

Beer is good and cold atmosphere was cool. Staff is very good. Sort of like your local pub. Nice patio and had boddingtons

A really nice pub, great atmosphere. However, there is a jobsworth barmaid....she calls last orders, i.e. 1130pm...fine...we go to the bar at 11.29, a minute or two after she calls last orders....and she says 'you're too late'....we're like 'it's 1129' and she...wait for it....says, 'not by that clock', pointing to a clock on the wall in the bar. So, apparently, we must all set our clocks/watches and everything else by this stupid woman in the Sussex. Such a shame, but what a twot. Won't be going back. Other pubs are a lt more welcoming.

Music was great, beer and selection of cocktails was good but the decoration was a bit too 70s space/glam for me.

A well known pub that is generally busy on a Saturday, so you would think the manament would have the sense to put on more than one serving member of staff. Waited ages to get served to the point of almost walking out. Nice pub...awful service.

Good selection of Beers. Also for watching the football. :-)

I drank beer in a very pleasant atmosphere. The coloring creates a sensation of maximum pleasure.

I've not been here for quite a few years. The place certainly has changed. I don't really like the new decor, but that's just me. It is very different. Staff were friendly, and we got very quick service. TVs if you want to watch a game.

Really enjoyable atmosphere and good beer

This is a fun airplane, airport themed bar. I just stopped in for a quick pint. I can not comment on the food. I did not eat here due to time restraint on my part.

Not to be missed during your stay in London.

Open late, a rare find in London and a bar damn site better than terminal one (and 2,3,4 and 5)

super friendly staff, visitors a mix of tourists and locals

Quirky and awesome!!! What a gem of a find!! Loved the ambiance.

The salt is missing and tastes like nothing!!!

A modern-looking place, but the theme is old-time air travel. New and past times meet. Nice staff, wide selection of drinks both in Hanoi and in bottles. Not a pub but a bar.

Really cool place to have a drink and more! Nice decoration, nice music - not too loud to have a conversation. Stuff is also very good and shows hospitality, which is not common for a bar ! Worth the visit !

Bar with an aviation theme. The people who serve are very nice. Good beers, good snacks. The decoration is first class.

Excellent treatment, without speaking almost any English. Good beer, top waitresses.

My first time in London, the place is 10 and the service is unbeatable, highly recommended

Velký výběr piv. Neměl jsem nic jiného ale fajn podnik.

Brilliant Place for people who have a hotel booked in the paddington area very friendly and nice staff drinks are on top and my whole trip rounds that up to a 10/10

Was so not expecting that. Walked in to the pub called the Sussex Arms then wham! You are surrounded by loads of airplane memorabilia. There are airplane seats to sit at. Different parts of planes adorn the walls. Much to look at. Staff warm and friendly and the pub was warm as well. Enjoyed our stay for a few drinks and would definitely recommend.

Decent enough pub. Brilliant location for Paddington Station. £7 a pint is too much.

Solid atmosphere, well done with theme

Our preferred spot for a first drink in London upon arriving at Paddington! Oz, in particular, is consistently delightful to chat with, & always wearing a smile. They have cool edible candy straws for kids which are worth a mention snd their awesome cocktails. The interior exudes a cool Concorde-themed ambiance, adding a unique touch to the experience. The bar boasts an impressive selection of drinks, making it a perfect place to unwind. Highly recommend for a welcoming atmosphere and excellent service!

パディントン駅から徒歩3分程度。22年前に訪問して、今回の渡英で再度訪れることができました。かなり雰囲気の良いパブです。

Fantastyczne miejsce z muzyką, klimatem na odreagowanie i zabawę 💃💃💃

I didn't have any food bit too modern for me. Still the drink was good. I had a comfortable drink there.

Typically British pub, friend talking loud, laughing, nice experience.

This was a highlight of our trip, great staff, music vibes, atmosphere in general was just spot on, try the festive drinks with edible straws and sit in a concorde seat with beautiful lighting and amazing stylish themed decorations and furniture!!

I had a couple of Corona pints, good atmosphere, very fast service and friendly staff.

Прокурено и шумно, тесно с самого утра субботы. Жесть. Если решили перекусить перед поездкой или вылетом, то не советую от слова совсем.

It was World Cup Semi-Finals and we were staying in Paddington, so took a walk around looking for a sports bar, that had a fine balance between style (for two, not such big sport watchers, ladies) and somewhere we could watch the game between the Springboks, and the Lions. We could not have found a better bar! The decor was stylish with a purple hue and lots of airplane paraphernalia done with the perfect amount of cool. The bar was clearly popular but never got overly packed. We didn't sit in them as they were already taken but the airline seats looked super comfy and a unique choice for seating. All in all an unexpected fun night, filled with great service, lots of banter, and ice-cold prosecco. And of course, it did end well for us when the Springboks, who we were rooting for, won much to the chagrin of the English fans!

Excelente atencion y musica!!! Buena onda

Stopped by here while on a 7 hr layover at Heathrow and were pleasantly surprised when we walked in. The decor is awesome and they even have concord seats. Bartender Dave was awesome. Such a great sense of humor and wit. If you have never had Allssop lager give it a try its the oldest brewing company in England 🇬🇧 oh yeah the fish and crisps are next door if your looking

Nice place, good menu, attentive service, all of this very close to Paddington station.

Good bit of fun early in the day. The Sussex Arms in Paddington, catering for the footy crowd on their way to various matches around the capital offers plenty of choice from the keg in a modern setting celebrating a bit of aviation history. Friendly people and great service, don't expect to be on your own for long. A great place for a beer.

Really cool place to visit. Last week we went to Duxford and went on Concorde today we got to sit in the seats to have a beer! Great place with lots of aviation history. 😊

Great little place to chill and imbibe. The bartender was excellent and Malbec lovely. Loved the BA Concorde airplane seats.

Amazing atmosphere, friendly staff and nice cold pints

Popped in for a few beers I wanted to sit on the Concord Aircraft seats but they were taken, I like the airport feel this place has.

Oub donde se ven muy bien los deportes gracias a sus pantallas. Los precios de las pintas son un poco más baratos que los de los pub de alrededor. Las camareras nos trataron muy bien pese a que no tenemos ni idea de inglés. Tiene terraza.

A great bar, not far from my accommodation in Sussex Gardens. Friendly, nice staff, and something very different. Adorning the interior, walls and ceiling are various parts of Concorde and Airbus planes. The seats in the middle are those from a Concorde, there's an emerging door with a clock on it, and the fuselage is even in there too. Additional to this there are Airport display boards, directing you to the toilets and bringing the quotes. Video screens also display historic footage of flight hostesses advertising various airlines (including the former Australian airline Ansett).

Best place for a hangout with your mates or socialising with a new bunch. Absolutely would recommend 💯

If you like aviation there are some nice pieces here like Concorde chairs and engine surrounds. Felt very pub like and when I visited not many people or atmosphere.

Our evening at The Sussex Arms in London was an absolute delight. With my wife and a friend, we were transported to a world of airplane vibes that added a unique and exciting touch to the atmosphere. The food was a culinary treat, satisfying our taste buds with every bite. The drinks were exceptional, expertly crafted to perfection. But what truly stood out was the ambiance; it was nothing short of amazing. The Sussex Arms offers a perfect blend of good food, great drinks, and an unforgettable atmosphere, making it a must-visit pub in London.

Creatively decorated pub wish good drink selection and atmosphere. Lots of screens for watching sport

Great place. Funky design and great music choice via the Jukebox. Will definitely be going back here again

Un sitio perfecto para tomar una pinta. Precios asequibles y personal muy amable

Great quirky pub. Nice, cool air conditioning. Theme based on Concord. Friendly and helpful staff.

For airline fans - this is the pub to go in Paddington area of London. It’s approx 5 minute walk from St Marys Hospital of the Hilton Metropole. Their is an outside area out front (probably not operating in winter) and also one hidden through the ‘business lounge’ The main area has lots of airline references, including Concorde seats, and a ‘departure board’ with interesting quotes. The bar staff are really friendly and helpful. The one blessing is that the music (when played) is at a volume you can still chat to your mates at without shouting. A godsend!

Managed to find a table in the fresh air on this Wednesday afternoon ( around 18:00 ) Enjoying our drinks :- - A pint of Guinness - Virgin Mary ( a bottle if tomato juice) Also very tasty crisps Service is good

Good decor.friendly staff.just a bit expensive.

Man kann noch etwas drinnen gehen. Man trifft gegebenenfalls Menschen mit anderen Sprachen und auch Touristen. Gerade letztere haben die Emotionen des Personals etwas aufgebraucht - nicht unbedingt zu unrecht 😇 Aber: hat bis 22:30 offen und ist damit fast schon ein Highlight für die „späten“ Besucher:innen. Die Auswahl an Cocktails ist sehr bescheiden und auch nicht immer bestellbar. Die Auswahl verschiedener Whiskys beschränkt sich auf bekannte Brands. Die Inneneinrichtung spiegelt irgendwelche Innenräume von Flugzeugen wieder und ist nicht sehr gemütlich. Ich war jeden Abend da und habe neue Menschen kennen gelernt
