About Plumbers Arms
On Lower Belgrave St, Plumbers Arms is a pub built around a rotating selection of real ales alongside a house-exclusive beer, Lucan Pale Ale, named after Lord Lucan. The kitchen runs a traditional British menu, with duck hash, steak pie, and crispy duck nachos with chorizo among the dishes. Bar staff bring drinks and food to the table and will offer a small taste of a beer to help pick a pint. Dogs are welcome inside. The pub sits within walking distance of Buckingham Palace, just off the main drag, and is part of the Greene King chain.

Customer Review Summary
The duck hash draws repeated praise, alongside the steak pie and a daily special of mussels with sea bream, all described as well prepared and reasonably priced for the Belgravia location. The steak, crispy duck nachos, chorizo, and a piping hot soup also earn mentions, while one visitor found the burger's chips underwhelming compared to the generous portion. Several single out the pub's own Lucan Pale Ale, tied to its Lord Lucan history, and staff are repeatedly called friendly, with bar staff offering newcomers a taste to find the right pint and guidance on pub etiquette. Reviewers describe it as a proper local tucked just off the main tourist drag near Victoria and Buckingham Palace, busy but not swamped, with a warm, relaxed atmosphere even on a quiet weekday afternoon. One reviewer suggests booking ahead for a meal, though another found table turnover reasonable without one.

“The plumbers arms pub in London We visited on Monday in a quaint pub Keith was exceptionally friendly and served our drinks quickly. We ordered the soup, the crispy duck nacho and chorizo for our group The soup was piping hot, generous in portion, and delicious. All the food was great. Prices are very fair for the quality. More importantly, Keith was so cordial and made our first visit so enjoyable. It was just a walk away from The Clermont Hotel. We have already suggested The Plumbers Arms to our friends at the hotel. You have a proper local pub that we will definitely visit again! Thank you for a great time.”

“Great local pub. If you are unfamiliar with the Greene King offerings the bar staff are kind enough to offer you a small taste to determine the best pint for you. Great atmosphere, you can definitely tell it is a locals spot as it was fairly busy for a Tuesday afternoon at 5pm. Had the steak pie and the duck hash. Both were well prepared and tasty.”

“The pub has historic links to the infamous Lord Lucan, and even has a pub exclusive beer, Lucan, 4% Pale Ale, named after him, on draft. More importantly now, it's in easy walking distance of Buckingham Palace and just far enough off the main drag to be busy without being swamped. It's part of the Greene King chain, so you may recognise a number of dishes on the menu, the duck hash a good go to for something different. If you are going to eat, would recommend booking, but whilst we were there, there seemed a reasonable movement on the tables, so you might be fine. Well worth making the effort for if you're looking for somewhere to relax, rest and enjoy a meal without fuss. Recommended”
