The Argyll Arms in City of London, Westminster

The premises, A lovely old building with character decor. Seating area was well presented and not to cramped. Just the right amount of tables and chairs for the room. Food. Was well presented, decent portions and hot. Staff. Very pleasant and polite, nothing was to much trouble.

Great pubs, excellent beers. Friendly and efficient team!

Hade a great time, the food was amazing I highly recommend this place. Staff was so polite I will definitely be going back.

Great food and service and a homely ambiance in the upstairs restaurant. We wanted to have a post-lunch drink in the lively bar downstairs but there were no free tables. Not a criticism, it's great that it's a popular spot, but it meant we didn't stay longer. Would return if we're in the area again.

Staff are really friendly and efficient. Great food and atmosphere.

Always a safety Great to come back here

This historic pub is one of my favourites but the current staff are unskilled & uninterested which is a great shame

A lovely stop for fish & chips!

Bar staff is amazing here! They are truly incredible and made us feel safe and welcomed! I highly recommend coming here

Delicious food and wonderful pub atmosphere

Great pub with a nice selection of drinks. The toilets were very clean and a high standard to other pubs in London.

Delicious fish and chips and great atmosphere.

Good quality, value for money food in a proper old english pub. Good atmosphere a little gem. Only down side, no disabled toilets (all upstairs)

No words to say ,this is my wonderful experience in london

Beautiful look pub good food great beer got a smashing pint of ale and a lot of bar snacks staff there were very friendly and handled the busy season like pros

Went in for a quick drink and the atmosphere was amazingly cozy. The Christmas decorations were very pretty and made the interiors sparkle.

Great service. We had tickets for the panto at 2.30pm and was hoping we would have time to eat. as our table was booked for 1pm. Food was very quick and lovely. Staff were very helpful and friendly. There was just one meal on the menu my Mum chose which they had ran out of so she had to choose a second option. Lovely pub, we will definitely come back when in London again.

The food was fresh and delicious. The dining room most inviting with Christmas decor, warmth and cheer.

Supervisor was rude and aggressive

Really welcoming staff and good value for money food. I highly recommend this establishment. The beer lover in me really appreciated the varied choice. 🤗🤗🤗

Was there on Christmas Eve and was eating food and a street vendor came in and was not stopped he came in with a bouquet of flowers put it on the table and picked up my phone and ran out …..the staff did not bother and said it’s not their responsibility….so be careful when u go there !!

Very charming and elegantly decorated pub. The atmosphere on the ground floor is typical and lively while that of the dining floor is calm and traditional. The Sunday roast perfectly meets the expectations of a tourist wanting to discover a traditional English dish. The roast was very well cooked as were the fresh and crunchy vegetables accompanying it. In addition, the plate is generous. A special note to Sophie who guided us perfectly in this gastronomic discovery.

Amazing food & Service ! Highly recommend

Everything was just as we liked and we would thoroughly recommend.

Lovely pub right by Oxford Circus. Food was great. Service was amazing and quick. Interesting history as well. Will be returning on my next shopping trip to Oxford Street.

Lovely pub just outside the tube station. Had the steak and ale pie which was tasty. Friendly and efficient team behind the bar. Would recommend.

Beautiful pub, very convenient location, just outside Oxford circus station. We chose this pub as our meeting point with friends, can get busy but that just adds to the charm! Definitely coming back!

Excellent food served by a helpful, polite and efficient waiter in a lively and bubbly environment - what more is there.

Service lacking. The barman on arrival seemed annoyed when we didn’t know what we wanted to drink the minute we walked in the door. Standing at the bar I could see other customers receiving a similar service to us by other staff members too. At ten to eleven we were told they were closing, leave and take our drinks with us. It was very clear that the staff were not interested in providing a service and it sadly had a hugely negative impact on such an attractive setting.

Went here for a few Saturday afternoon drinks. Service is good considering how busy it gets as it is just behind Oxford Circus. Guinness here is good

ABUSIVE staff , racist bartender , horrible experience Ambience is pretty good , though my worst experience in London yet

Beautiful pub inside. Staff are quick and friendly. Gets busy quick so get in early

We didn't feel like serving again today... we waited forever, even though there was absolutely nothing going on on a Monday and we were the only four of us far and wide who didn't have anything to drink. Otherwise great pub, classic English and sociable

Cool pub, just a little limited space in the front area. Beer really good too.

Great service from Chris and Sophie upstairs. We were a large group and they handled the chaos of us all asking for extra things really well! Very polite and friendly.

Hele mooi en gezellige pub in hartje Soho met goede muziek. Leuke plek om te gaan aperitieven voor je naar een restaurant vertrekt. Zoals in alle pubs kan je hier natuurlijk ook eten maar dat hebben we niet gedaan. Nog een speciale vermelding voor het speciale, mooie interieur met verschillende niches en met oa een prachtig plafond

The table booked was ready and waiting when we arrived. The pub has a lovely atmosphere and the staff helpful despite being rushed off their feet. Very handy for a visit to the Palladium.

We booked the Argyll arms for a pre theatre lunch before the pantomime, the location is perfect for the palladium. The pub was warm and inviting and decked out beautifully with Christmas decorations. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed to a table upstairs where our host Chris really went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our meal. Considering how busy the restaurant was he managed to serve every customer on his own, quite a remarkable feat given the time of the year!!! Chris could definitely could show others how it’s done in hospitality.

Fabulous food and great service.

Came in for food with family today. Courtney our server was great upstairs

Just dropped in for a couple of pints

Had an EXCELLENT Christmas meal / party in the upstairs room. Chris was our host for the evening and was excellent with helping everything run smoothly for our group of 15. Highly recommend for gatherings! Also the team were great in the run up helping to cater for a variety of food allergies / intolerances. We had a wonderful night.

Only stopped in for a quick pint. Ended up having two. Fabulously beautiful pub with all the glass panels on the walls. Busy place but managed to get a table. We had the guest beer of Edinburgh stout which was terrific. Go, it's an enjoyable experience. Well worth a visit.

A proper Victorian pub just by the station

I used to stop in here often. I'm back in London regularly again but will be finding a new 'local' after being charged £8.10 last night for a pint!! Sat near the bar for an hour and in that time 2 other customers complained at the price of the drinks. This used to be a great pub but they are clearly now more focused on ripping off the Oxford Street tourists than having regulars who work and visit the area. Such a shame, I won't be going back.

Amazing food and an even better IPA! Warm and cozy pub in the middle of London. I have been there last friday for lunch with my friend and we had a great time. Good service, no rush, VERY kind staff and Rob was fantastic with us. All perfect. I had the classic Fish and Chips and I will have it back in the future.

Popped in for an early evening meal before going to the London Palladium yesterday. Fantastic atmosphere and a lovely dining area. Lovely food and great service from Chris who was very friendly. Service like this makes a real difference to the experience and I would highly recommended this pub for both drinks and food 👌

Great place, welcoming staff, delicious food and excellent selection of beers/wine. Best mulled wine I ever had.

A beautiful historic pub in the heart of central London. Fantastic selection of beers and ales on tap and proper pub grub available. Service is always fast and super friendly. Highly recommended!

I came in on a cold night. Me and my friends just wanted to grab a drink. When we saw the small pub, we excitedly went in and struggled to find seating, as the pub is incredibly small. After we finally found some stools, we went to the bar to order our pints. We are American travelers, visiting for the week and wanted to experience the full english pub scene. When we spoke to the bartender to ask for our drinks, she rudely told us she could not accept American ID’s because they had no way of knowing if they were fake. I find this absolutely ridiculous!! They asked us for European ID, but as we are AMERICAN citizens, there is no way we would have had that. Me and my friends are all well over age. It is ridiculous to not accept American ID in this day and age. Absolutely ridiculous!! The argyle arms is not tourist friendly. Please avoid. As for the pub itself- fix your policies, as this is offensive and outdated. Your pub is in a. prominent part of London, where tourists must come in. Your actions, and your handling of my situation was absolutely disgusting.

Popped in for a drink, asked the server what the cheapest lager was then ordered a half pint. She returned a minute later apologising for giving me the wrong answer. I then ordered the cheaper lager. Excellent customer service.

Fab service by a great waiter. Roberto was very friendly and efficient, great food for a reasonable price too. definately will return

Probs my best pub in this area. It has such a charm, historical and handsome. Renowned for its ales and gins, with a good selection of food and other drinks, backs off from the London palladium, 2 minutes from Oxford circus, tucked neatly on the corner from Oxford street. Friendly staff, seating inside with booths available and seating outside. Clean toilets, lovely atmosphere.

Friendly staff, tasty food and clean pub :-)

This is the second time I have been treated badly by the same girl. The first time I didn't say anything but this time she went too far, without any reason. Apart from being rude, she refused to serve me saying that she is the manager. Even if she is the manager, she needs to be regulated.

Enjoyed a variety of appetizers and a pie so my sister, niece, and I could sample several pub options. Not disappointed. Server, Chris, was a standout. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal, location, service... Nice job!

Very nice pub with original timber bar, screens and panelling. Pricey drinks though.. 1 pint of German wheat beer and a bottle of Peroni came to £14.35! But that's London for you...

Chris was so amazing. If you come here, ask for him! Took care of our every need and more. Thanks Chris!!!

Amazing service and a huge help with online bookings for private hire.

This pub is close to Oxford Circus Tube station and the London Paladium. The pub was busy inside and with people sitting outside. Very good service and not over exspensive, atmosphere was ok.

Good food, good service, nice ambiance!

Pleasant oldie pub in central London

Was small roast portions and the server was quite over bearing but over all a nice experience

Cozy victorian pub, not too busy for its location. Great for tourists to experience pub atmosphere. Liked the food though not very distinctive

With cut and etched mirrors, vibrant red Lincrusta ceiling and walls, and dazzling glazed screen work partitioning individual drinking snugs, The Argyll Arms is an exemplar of the Victorian pub. The steak and ale pie was tasty enough (indeed, award winning) but diminished somewhat by the thick crust, although an individual pitcher of gravy was a thoughtful touch. If there is a worm in the bud of this beautiful rose, it is the Nicholson’s pale ale. Like all such cask-conditioned beers, it traditionally is served at cellar temperature (55° F)—but here seems to be a few degrees warmer, which tended to flatten the taste. (At The Blackfriar, another Nicholson’s establishment, the ale is warmer still.)

A nice looking pub has a good look about inside and plenty of fraught beer options

Very well decorated traditional pub, friendly waitress who takes the time to describe the beers to the tourists that we are! Good pies and fish and chips

Great range of beers and a cracking Cheese and Chutney Sandwich. Worth a visit

Good old fashioned traditional pub there's not enough of them left ! Great atmosphere too and service efficient

Just popped for a quick beer. Nice old boozer. Still has the partition from the days when it was vault, snug , parlour etc. Staff great. Beer great.. decent prices

I visit the pub regularly, when I am going to the London Palladium. The pub manager managed to get me a table even though the pub was very busy at 5p.m.. I had the fish plater with my sister, and it was very good. A pleasant surprise for pub food. Very friendly staff. The lighting is bit too dark for trying to read the menu's etc.

Great time, great service, myself and my company will be back. Chris was an excellent barman! 10/10

Great pub, great staff and service.

It was a pleasant experience. The room featured a beautiful Victorian interior, full of character and charm, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere—perfect for a relaxed drink or meal. We ordered the Sunday Roast, Burger, and Mac and Cheese. The food was cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. I really appreciated the attention to detail, as everything was prepared exactly as requested. However, the beef could have been sliced a bit thicker for an even better texture.

Great food, great atmosphere, great decor, great staff

We had googled somewhere near the Palladium as a last minute place to eat before the Elvis Costello concert. We were very pleasantly surprised by the welcome we received. Food was lovely and when I saw how much my wife had ate I knew she had enjoyed it. Nice to sit in a old fashioned dining room. Waitress was very nice and saw to everything we needed.

The direct person or the worker will talk to you from the bottom of his mouth and give you advice

Quaint old pub....was probably a dance hall in the past...classic old Victorian era decor...have to climb stairs to Toilet....so difficult for older folk...food was excellent...good beers selection....it's quite dim in the back....use phone torch to read menu.... A MUST VISIT for visitors to Oxford Street.

Really lovely food and service. Very reasonably priced

We stopped here as it was on the way to where we were going to eat. We had a couple of Guinness each and headed onwards. All expectations met, service was excellent and my family from New York got to have a drink outdoors in the sunshine.

Anytime I find myself in london, I've got to have a steak pie. The Argyll Arms does it right. Delicious!

The food was fantastic and our server was excellent. Very attentive and friendly. My wife had the beef brisket pie and I had the lentil and vegetable pie. Both were amazing. To top it off we had the sticky toffee pudding which was out of this world. I highly recommend eating here.

Charming place to have a quick pint

We did not book but were lucky enough to get the last available one. Staff very helpful and food delicious. Will go back again

Nice pub with good atmosphere and great service.

The service was excellent. I am gluten Intolerant and Chris ensured my meal was suitable for me to eat. His service was impeccable and the location of our table was fabulous.

Electric atmosphere and superb music.

Early Sunday lunch time visit, fairly quiet. Shown quickly to a table, food and drink ordered and delivered promptly. Food was good, decent portions and beer kept well.

Spent the weekend in London and come across this pub looking for something to eat. Normal London prices for food and Drink. But was pleasantly surprised when the food came, it was homemade and cooked fresh. Not purchased in bulk buy & then cooked. Will definitely come again. It was lovely

Small, quiet dining room is an oasis of calm amidst the bustling Oxford Circus area. Great welcome, very obliging staff for whom nothing was too much trouble.

Beautiful pub, with a great team and drinks selection. The dining room is stunning and the service is great. Booking is a must, as it is right near the bustling Oxford Circus and Regent Street.

Great selection of beer, lovely food and fantastic staff. Will be coming back 👍🏻

The food was nice but when I received the bill I couldn't understand why it was so high. Upon closer inspection I realised that we had been charged for 2 large glasses of wine. When I ordered the wine I didn't think to specify the size and unfortunately we were not asked. It should never have been presumed that we wanted large glasses, because, quite frankly, at your prices I would never have ordered large. Please ensure that staff ask what size glasses of wine customers would like.

Amazing glass work. Epic, vintage, English pub.

Rude staff. Refused a pint because I'm visually impaired (I was completely sober on the day). Second time I was refused a pint because of my visual impairment. Even showed my VI card to the bouncer but no change. Did you know about the Equality Act? This is discrimination.

Stopped in for lunch and we were not disappointed. Our server upstairs was alone, but did an excellent job tending bar and serving tables. Food was excellent and drinks were great. Bartender went above and beyond, even making an entire pitcher of pomegranate tea for us. Recommend a visit!

The service upstairs in the restaurant was spot on considering it was being done by one person. The food was really good and would definitely go back

A pub with a dining room on the first floor. The waiter was incredibly nice and helpful as I have to eat differently for health reasons. Great atmosphere, characterized by many photos and maps of the Palladium Theater. Downstairs the pub is partitioned off with etched glass panes, which creates small rooms and makes it easy to separate yourself. The food was really good, the drinks were well chilled.

Well located near Oxford Street. Perfect for a moment of relaxation from shopping. 🍺

Added broccoli to the meal as only served with chips
