Public houses of Buckingham Palace

As Londoners, at Cozee we are deeply attached to our weekly attendance to our local pub. Why should you be different in the place where you are going to live? That is why we have been testing and reviewing all the pubs in Buckingham Palace. As a matter of fact, we didn’t… But we would have loved to. Here is then the list of the greatest pubs of Buckingham Palace

Pub name NameAddressDescription
American BarStafford Hotel, 16/18 St James’s Place
London
SW1A 1NJ
Directly accessed through its covered patio at the end of Blue Ball Yard, leading from an archway off St James’s Street, this quiet, cosy, sumptuously furnished hotel bar is a delight for non-residents to share. The hotel was used by Americans, Canadians and Free French during World War II and the walls of the bar are covered with pictures, photographs and other historic memorabilia all donated by guests over the years. Expect to pay for quality of service and the sheer privilege of drinking here.
Blue Posts6 Bennet Street
London
SW1A 1RP
There has been a tavern on this site since the days of Charles II. As illustrated by the pub sign, the name is thought to refer to the blue bollards that once marked the “taxi-ranks” of sedan chairs. The current incarnation, which opened in July 2015, is a spacious and airy single bar, with mixed tile, carpet and wooden flooring, some fake Victorian dark wood, a variety of seats and tables and large windows. There are London-related prints, vintage photos of the area and posters everywhere. Handy for the Ritz.
In common with many other pubs, ale availability here may depend on the day of the week you visit and footfall at the time.
Civil Service Club13-15 Great Scotland Yard
London
SW1A 2HJ
Founded in 1953, originally for members of the Civil Service but now open to a wider public-organisation membership including the Metropolitan Police. There are restaurant, bar, accommodation and lounge facilities. A bar food menu is available all the time. In the restaurant, lunch is served Tuesday to Friday and dinner Tuesday to Saturday.
Real ale on five handpumps is largely from the Greene King stable. The bar is open to members and their guests.
Clarence53 Whitehall
London
SW1A 2HP
Imposing corner pub rebuilt in 1862, popular with tourists and civil servants, and probably named for the Duke of Clarence who was briefly Lord High Admiral in the late 1820s and oversaw naval affairs from an office opposite. As King William IV history now remembers him for his numerous illegitimate offspring, his salty naval language, and for having a head shaped like a pineapple!
Horse & Guardsman16-18 Whitehall
London
SW1A 2DY
Until 2020 this was a 1995 Wetherspoon bank conversion, formerly the premises of bankers Messrs Cocks Biddulph & Co (later to be absorbed by Martins Bank and finally Barclays Bank), the building was designed by Richard Coad and built 1870-73. In November 2021 the premises reopened as a McMullen’s outlet, a “premium bar serving traditional British classic food”. The ale range is from McMullen and the food offering is wide and includes pub classics, Sunday roasts, and sandwiches.
The venue is split-level with a range of seating including high stools, banquettes, and comfy chairs. Fairly inevitably for a pub with this name, wall decorations include a giant picture of “Scotland for Ever”, Lady Butler’s famous 1881 painting of the charge of the Royal Scots Greys cavalry at Waterloo on 18 June 1815. There is also an interesting map of London created for visitors to the Great Exhibition of 1851.
Old Shades37 Whitehall
London
SW1A 2BX
The word Shades was originally a generic term for cellars and this pub was just ‘The Shades’ until rebuilt in 1898 by Treadwell & Martin in the Gothic-influenced Arts & Crafts style. Note the jokey pub sign outside! Grade II listed, this long, narrow, wood-panelled pub widens into a waitress-service dining room at the back. A gilded cupola with stained glass panels lights the central bar area, which has an impressive Victorian tiled front. Accompanied children are welcome at any time. Six handpumps; ale prices reflect the very central location.
As from early 2019 Young’s operate this pub.
Red Lion48 Parliament Street
London
SW1A 2NH
Tall, narrow, corner pub, close to Parliament Square, and rebuilt in the late 1890s. The name is ancient, and a brewhouse named the Red Lion very close to this site has been dated back more than 500 years. The present Grade II listed pub retains several original features from its rebuild including a carved mahogany bar back, a patterned ceiling, and etched glass to the rear. There is a cellar bar and an upstairs dining room.
Spot the portraits of former prime ministers in the main bar! The pub became briefly famous as the “Treasury Annexe” for off-the-record briefings to the press during Gordon Brown’s years at the Treasury, but this came to an abrupt halt following a major indiscretion. MPs still use the pub and it has a division bell to tell them when parliamentary voting is about to take place, irritatingly interrupting their drinking and also confusing tourists who think it is the fire alarm going off. In early August 2016 media reports stated that the pub had been considered for nationalisation, in anticipation of parliament moving out of its home in 2020 for renovation works, and into one forbidden to sell alcohol! Apparently the thought of having to drink with lesser mortals was too much for parliament to bear; fortunately common sense prevailed and the scheme was ruled out.
Following a makeover the pub is now part of the Fuller’s Ale & Pie chain. There are three handpumps on each part of the bar. Unsurprisingly given its tourist and parliament location this pub is often crowded. Breakfast is served at weekends but no alcohol before 10am on Saturdays or noon on Sundays.
Silver Cross33 Whitehall
London
SW1A 2BX
A sprawling early 20th century pub on ground floor and basement levels. Low ceilings nonetheless make for an intimate atmosphere, although TV sports are available. The downstairs bar, used for overflow at busy times, is available for functions. The original 1674 tavern was given a brothel keeper’s licence by King Charles II for services rendered.
St Stephen’s Tavern10 Bridge Street
London
SW1A 2JR
Built in 1875 and reopened in 2003 by Hall & Woodhouse after restoration, this pub contains an MPs’ Division Bell and is opposite the Houses of Parliament. As such it is a visitor magnet and is frequented by (a lot of!) tourists plus civil servants and their political masters. Grade II-listed and one of London’s Real Heritage Pubs, it gives an impression of discreet grandeur. Particularly of note are the high bar-back, etched mirrors and splendid hanging brass lamps.
At busy meal times drinkers-only may be discouraged from occupying the limited number of tables. Children over 10 years old are permitted until 5pm throughout the week. Food is served from 10am and the food menu includes Sunday roasts.
Note the very standard licensing condition that alcohol cannot be served until noon on Sundays.
Tattershall CastleKing’s Reach Victoria Embankment
London
SW1A 2HR
A paddle steamer moored on the west side of the Thames, slightly south of Embankment tube station and Hungerford Bridge, opposite the London Eye. Built in 1934, it is said to be one of the first civilian vessels fitted with radar. Retired from its life as a Humber ferry in 1973, and run as a bar and restaurant since 1981. In May 2015 the boat reopened after a reported £1.8 million refit in Hull, which also restored and made the original engine room visible. Air- conditioned in summer, heated in winter.
Uniquely (?), the “cellar” is a barge moored alongside; it rises and falls with the tide, as does the boat. Hence, the Real Ale lover’s concept of beer peacefully bubbling away in an undisturbed cask must be abandoned here – only “bright” or “fast-drop” beers can be sold. Handpumps are in the Ward Room area only, where large windows look out on the animated River Thames. Non-peak times may suit drinkers-only better as tables may be reserved for diners.
NB at date of writing (2019) the boat may have shifted its location slightly due to the Thames Tideway works.
Walker’s of Whitehall15 Craig’s Court
London
SW1A 2DD
The Street Bar, on the ground floor, is not that big, with a cocktail bar and restaurant in the former bank vaults downstairs. There is a civilised atmosphere; the after-work custom includes mainly civil servants. No outdoor seating. Saturday bottomless brunch available; pre-theatre menu on offer from 5pm. Up-market prices reflect the area. Because it is a bit hidden, this pub is markedly less touristy than the main Whitehall sites. Often some of the lesser-known ales are on offer here.
