About The Buckingham Arms

A handsome, unpretentious Young's pub near St James's Park, known for its leaded windows and a strong, well-kept cask ale programme.

The Buckingham Arms sits on Petty France, a short street connecting Victoria to St James's Park that's dominated today by government buildings including the Ministry of Justice — making this late-Victorian Young's house a natural refuge for civil servants and barristers alike. Its long, narrow room keeps handsome leaded windows and a traditional layout, and it has built a strong local reputation on the quality and range of its cask ales.
