Very quirky decor on the inside with old lamps and high ceilings. Really crowded and maybe too many tourists but if sunny you can stand outside and enjoy the views to the Big Ben.

I liked the red curry and the beer was solid. Very convenient location for tourists. Across the street from Parliament and right by the tube station.

If you're in the Westminster Area after all of the museums have closed, this is a great place for a tourist to grab a restroom break while their comrades snag a drink.

Great food at the new restaurant. Badger burger is lovely and new chef Katherine Feddon who was a masterchef professionals semi finalist spoils her diners with superb food.

If you're after a beer, may be best to avoid lunchtime. It was packed with diners, and we kept being approached by staff wanting to seat us when we just wanted a beer.

Cozy but you cannot get over the feeling that this is a tourist trap. Still, cool to grab a lager at a bar next to Big Ben

Nice little pub across from parliament. Small but cozy with good selection of beer and friendly service.

Wow, the layout of this pub is really weird and the atmosphere is amazing, the room decor and high ceilings were very gothic and quirky, the balcony with the arches. The place was jammed with people

Decent service. Good food and very reasonable prices given the location. Recommended!

The place wasn’t clean, the food was okay and they were out of salt! The only thing good was the sauce next to the fish and chips.
Robert KnoxApril 12, 2017
Very handy for houses of parliament.

Roasts come out in seconds... Nice but not mind-blowing
TeaBellyMarch 4, 2012
Atmosphere, staff and beer are all fantastic...The food not so much. Avoid the so called, "gormet burger". There is nothing gormet about this warmed up supermaket burger.

Pretty good pub
Jon BergerMarch 7, 2015
Good beer☺
Jan AFebruary 1, 2014
Hamburger and fish & chips both not great. Go somewhere else if you're looking for proper food!
Alessandro D'OstilioOctober 11, 2010
Really nice pub, especially the elegant room with high ceiling.
Michael BroomanAugust 29, 2011
You can listen to Big Ben's voice over a pint of Tanglefoot

Fish & chips, Peroni
Jan AJanuary 30, 2014
Don't have the burger or fish and chips. Honestly not worth the change. Word up!
Nupura GothoskarSeptember 12, 2011
The Mezze Board is goooood. :)
Nicolas HonnoratFebruary 11, 2014
Service upstairs was alright but honestly food is not good at all. Worst chicken burger even and chips were not good at all. Good luck for future customers !!
Anne FayOctober 5, 2010
Try to get a seat in one of the booths upstairs
Oliver OggMay 19, 2012
Looking at a fish and chips that a guy has ordered next to me, I wouldn't recommend it. Batter looks very heavy.
