This is one of our favorite pubs in London. It is around the corner from Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. In the nicer weather they have 4-5 tables outside and this is a great spot for just watching people. The food is also very good pub food--they have the best Ploughman's lunch I have found at a pub in London. Ploughman's lunch is: French bread with cheese and a salad.

The beers and ales were fun. The duck, hare soup, meats in dark gravy and peas were not fun. Here they offer fried potatoes, jacket potatoes and boiled potatoes at every meal.

There are not all that many good pubs in the Westminster area, but this is a good one. It''s right around the corner from the new Queen Elizabeth Conference Centre and 1/2 block from Westminster Abbey.

The bar is crowded for most of the day, and looks a lot like it did when it was built back in 1913. There is a restaurant upstairs and a wine bar downstairs. I have had lunch two times here, and both times had the Ploughman''s Lunch. Beers include Stella, Young''s, and Westminster Bitter.

Nearest tubes are St. James and Westminster.

I always like to go to Westminster Arms as they have the best Ploughmans Lunch (Cheese/bread/tomato/mincemeat). The one problem is that they close early on Sundays.
