The Carpenter's Arms in City of London, Westminster

Great food and service. Doesn’t look a lot but it really was and so tasty

One of those back alley pubs, which is almost free of tourists, except myself! Was well received, but only one cask ale available. However, it was well kept. Mostly pie menu, but the food was good. Pleasant place for an early afternoon.

I had the pie today. It was definately the best i had. The service is also very prompt and the bartenders are quite friendly. Best wishes!

Great pub which I’ve not been in for the best part of 20 years due to me living in the “north”. But still a nice boozer with decent ales albeit a bit pricey…..but that’s London for you. What I like about the place is it’s out of the way and not overly busy.

Nice place, came for a quick drink. Typical London prices. Friendly service. Good place

Amazing British bar and nice guy at the bar. Got to borrow a charger and could happily continue sightseeing in London after two Guinnesses

Typical old fashioned London pub - great staff and good beer - need one say more?

Very good pub's spirit inside 🙂

Gran pub "local" en el centro de Londres. Pie and Mash está fuera de la esfera bueno, gran selección de cervezas, personal muy amable y todo el deporte que se puede ver!

Nice proper pub right near marble arch. Only popped in for a quick pint but the place was nice, service was good and the beer was too 😁

Great choice of beer, Harvey’s Best and Erdinger Wheat Beer on draught, brilliant! One of the finest pubs in London, the staff are amazing, especially Andleeb.

Great Old School pub just off the main tourist streets. Nice pint of Fullers London Pride. Had a Moo & Blue pie with chips and peas. Pie & pint was just under £30, which is good value for central London. On Mondays they have a special pie & pint offer at a special price.

Bonito pub típico, donde se puede beber cerveza y comer pasteles. Solo pasteles en el menú, pero son muy buenos. ¡Los precios no son expansivos! ¡Se lo recomiendo!

A real and excellent London pub

Great original London pub - the Harveys Best was spot on!

Came here, both toilets in the ladies were blocked and it was really disgusting. When you went down the stairs to the toilets it stank like the worst public toilet in the 3rd world and that smell was coming from the gents so I can only imagine what it was like there. And this was on a quiet Wednesday evening!

A real English pub. Great atmosphere

Great pub ..very friendly and great atmosphere

Estaba buscando comida con un amigo y una bebida. Era jueves por la noche no servían comida, solo bocadillos de bar tuercas, etc Tenían una buena selección de bebidas, etc. El personal era muy amable y el bar parecía limpio, etc. y agradable, no nos alojamos como queríamos comida. La zona alrededor del pub es bastante esquemático mirando en el exterior nos fuimos ya que estaba oscureciendo caminando alrededor

Decent London pub, lots of inside and outside seating areas. 2 beers were £13.70 or something

The staff is very friendly, service was great, and the place is gorgeous with the hanging flowers and everything. The only problem is that the kitchen seems unreliable. We went two days and the kitchen wasn’t open for either so we couldn’t get what sounded like delicious pies. So I’d say if you’re going for a drink (or a few), this is a great spot. If you’re hungry, though, maybe don’t rely on food here.

Classic British pub with a good selection of local brews. Exactly what we were looking for on the first day after a monster flight. Super friendly bartender who provided great advice on which beers to try. Didn't disappoint. Wild looking glasses - short and fat but definitely holds beer

5 persons eating pie Very good vegan one Very friendly service. Little loud. Reservation recommended

great pub! Americans visiting and had an absolute blast, staff and locals are very kind, drinks and food are great definitely recommend!!!

Great pub with great service and food will definitely have a pint here again!!!!

Dog friendly. Very chilled vibe on a sunny weekday

Wonderful pub close to Hyde park. Loved the 7th step lager. Had loads of fun. Clean restrooms, great staff.

This place is great, I'm from the USA and this place made a great impression of England and the staff are fantastic with a great atmosphere and ton of drink options. Historic and perfect

Barkeep was super helpful. It was a fairly quiet pub. It had lots of character. Dartboard in the back was a nice feature.

Very nice old traditional English pub. Cozy and warm atmosphere and great services. They have a few outside tables and one TV inside.

They do pies in a number of variations, but that's all when it comes to the food selection. Great tasting pie though - I had their moo&blue (beef and stilton). Limited outside seating available outside, on this quiet back street.

A really nice little boozer tucked away on a side street where no tourist will find it. At the time of my visit there were three ales available and staff were attentive, polite and efficient. There's a day board but there's so many tables in front of it, I doubt it gets much use. I confess I haven't tried the food.

I'll be back if they have Fuller's London Pride available. A nice bunch of staff and a good set of toilets.

amazing service, beautiful little pub. a little expensive but what can you expect for middle of london. would come again 10/10 recommend

found by chance a nice place with few but typical dishes and very good beer

I used it on a family trip. It's a very nice atmosphere. In particular, the female staff wearing glasses was very friendly and courteous! The pie was also delicious

I have only been here a few times before, and it was just OK. But I had 2 great visits this week, Wednesday for the footy, and Saturday morning, then again Saturday afternoon, for the rugby. All 3 were great, and I will be coming back soon.

the music was on point ⭐️ decently priced pints and loved my cloudy apple cider 🍎

Proper boozer just behind edgeware road. Good service. Good beer.

Great little place for a quick drink. Great atmosphere and service

For those moving in the area: music when then do works on Sunday morning 7/8am, closes at 11pm but sometimes people stay loud for more and worse, glass litter collection between 12.30-2am, so loud earplugs won’t be enough. There is nothing the pub or main landlord of the area can change about all that…

Just abused by female staff member for wanting 10+ shots and not being provided in shot glasses or not providing a way to take them to our pre booked space. Very inappropriate female staff member who swore at us for requesting a normal degree of service for spending that much money.

I recently visited The Carpenters Arms and enjoyed the cosy traditional pub atmosphere, fantastic service and great food & drinks. I've added it to my barguide.london site too!

Lovely Timothy Taylor's Landlord.

Best pub in London. Great selection of drinks & staff are lovely.

Good place to watch a football match!!

Fabuloso pub, perdió el rumbo un poco y ahora 5 estrellas de nuevo después de re - instaurar el Harvey's. Un destino que no debe perderse nadie interesado en una de las mejores cervezas del Reino Unido.

The Carpenter's Arm was the perfect spot to take-it-easy after long travels. We ordered meat pies and mash and drinks. The meat pie was warm and hearty, exactly what you want on a cold, drizzly day. I enjoyed mine with a spicy ginger beer. We also appreciated the chill environment and friendly, helpful service.

Awesome placed filled with awesome people!

We booked a private room for a hen party activity. We had the chippendale room upstairs and it was perfect for us. The staff were so friendly and helpful and we all ordered pie and mash when the activity was finished. Everyone loved it and we didn’t feel rushed at all.

We met up at Marble Arch and this is right nearby. Lovely little pub, clean with a friendly atmosphere. We only didn’t stay to eat as we fancied a Sunday roast.

My brother and I were looking for a place to watch the Barcelona soccer match, and I was lucky enough to find this pub online. I made the reservation, and the truth is that we loved visiting it! A local business, very pleasant atmosphere and charming service.

Great choice of beers, lovely bar staff, great venue for a talk. Lovely pie and mash. Will go again.

Incredible staff, always premier league, tasty press with gravy mash and press. Lots of tap beer, decent wine selection and great atmosphere. Carpenters Arms near Marble Arch, should not be missed. Lovely, fun pub with great staff some of whom I will miss as they prepare to move away. GM Scott does have a great way with people making sure each of the staff treat the customers like family. He just knows how to pick people. Wide variety of patrons and a good outdoor crowd enjoying fresh air year round whilst having a smoke of pipe or cigar or Marlboro!

A great pub with excellent food (the pies) and great service. Excellent for a catch-up with friends in central London.

Great wee pub. Good for watching footy.

Excellent pint of Guiness, shame the female toilets were both blocked😦

Lovely little pub, really good selections of Beers, and the service was fast and friendly.

Had a lovely lunch time drink manager was really nice and friendly

Great pub, nice pint and the staff are super helpful

I went with my family unfamiliar to the arena and was made to feel like I was a regular, lonely environment and the staff even nicer, will defo be my place to go whenever I am in the area

Witnessed the bar staff trying to fight patrons who were simply trying to finish their drink. They were sat outside and were aggressively attacked by the bar staff. I’m sure there will be a response from the pub with some attempt to rationalise what happened, however we witnessed the guests being attacked without reason by the bar staff. Please do not visit this pub. We were scared by the staff, the poor people just trying to drink there.

It was a busy Tuesday night, nice beer and people are nice

Bardzo ciekawe miejsce! Miła i pomocna obsługa :) polecam zestaw poniedziałkowy pie, mash and pint za 14 funtów. Porcja idealna do podzielenia się w parze.

Nice beer. Busy Tuesday afternoon with happy vibes.

Excellent bar service provided. Cannot comment on food.

Just beat Paul again at darts 🎯

Lovely traditional London spot. Plenty of TVs for football. Would recommend.

Very good. Lovely atmosphere and good range of drinks. Old school small pub with space outside in quiet streets.

A quick drink. Welcoming and relaxed. Will come again

Super friendly girl behind the bar, great vibe, love it!

What s lovely old fashioned pub tucked away behind Oxford Street.. fantastic staff good drinks and they sell cridps/nuts... 👍...met a lively Kuwaiti guy who was here to learn English...I taught him the best phrases 😉

Classic pub with friendly staff.

Large pub that has a large focus on sports and is a fan favourite for football and rugby. Great location and always busy - good for atmosphere

Cozy and friendly pub that’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. Went there to watch the football match and it was an excellent choice. Friendly staff. Plenty of TVs to watch the action from anywhere in the pub. Will definitely go back.

Sales system broke down, and a pub unable to sell beer is practically useless.

Ok pub, two casks one, slightly above average cost

No cash accepted. Why are they joining the government effort to get rid of cash?? What's wrong with people using cash? Plods following the government. Shame on them.

Proper old school London boozer. And there aren't many of those left.

Kat lovely girl made a great recommendation on the cask drinks Harvey’s one of the best cask drinks I’ve tasted and will look out for it as explained it’s a popular drop this side of England. Thank you guys. Much love

Great local pub! Shows all the live sports on the big screens and heard they will be making homemade sausage rolls and scotch eggs soon 😋

Lovely little corner pub. Had only a quick pint but it was delicious after a long day of walking around London.

Great pub on the corner, nice selection of beer, some outside seats & they also have a dart board

Great traditional pub. Hot darts game going on in the background and good beer

Good range of beers and good service

Absolutely one of the worst pubs in London. Advertises pie meals then doesn't have them half the time, and won't take cash. Absolute rubbish

Pint before going to frameless. Lovely staff. Good range of beers. Football on tv which was great. Accommodated rugby fans also. Old fashioned layout, great pub in this area.

Un típico pub con British emborrachándose y viendo el fútbol.

Great place and Jamila and Boot the Dutch are the best hosts

Nice Place,Nice Lady Serving B hide d Bar,il Go Back again.

Abbiamo dovuto aspettare circa 20 minuti che si liberasse un tavolo anche se il piano superiore credo fosse vuoto. Evidentemente avevano deciso di non utilizzarlo. Purtroppo il piatto che volevamo non era più disponibile e abbiamo dovuto ripiegare su ciò che c'era tra quelli del Sunday roast , e uno dei due era un piatto a base di verdure diversamente da ciò che sapevo. Comunque buono. Servizio veloce. Lo consiglio

Pub caratteristico con ottime birre. Se si passa in zona consiglio una sosta per provare una delle numerose birre proposte.

Great pub, great staff, great location Feels like a home away from home

Good watering hole with colleagues....

Lovely pub with great cask ales & a very personable & knowledgeable landlord.

Proper old boozer, no frills but good drinks and atmosphere. 2 drinks for a tenner which is great given the location !

Drinks were very reasonably priced, nice atmosphere

One of the great backstreet local pubs of London. The way Londons Pubs should be. Very much worth the visit for a quiet, relaxed, ale or two.

This is old school. A pub like pubs used to be. Lots of ales to choose from. I didn't eat as they actually don't do food except for three types of crisps. Nevertheless, I love the place. Highly recommended.

Love this place. Tap cider rules.
