About us

The Buckingham Arms is a delightful pub located in the upscale neighborhood of St. James's in London. The pub exudes traditional charm and character, with a cozy interior that features wood-paneled walls, exposed brickwork, and period decor.
We offer a wide selection of beers, ales, wines, and spirits, including a rotating selection of guest ales from local breweries. The drink menu is complemented by a delicious food menu that features classic British pub fare, such as homemade Guinness and braised beef pie, our famous fish and chips, and Sunday roast, all made with fresh ingredients.
