Sunday Roast was great! And cider too. We had a good time having lunch there. A quiet and peaceful pub very close to Buckingham.

g. k.

Great services and food . Staff are amazing, love the look and feel of the pub.

Z. M.

I cannot rate this establishment highly enough. My friend and I had an absolutely wonderful afternoon here. For one, dog friendly.....tick. They offered water for her.....put up with her periodic barking 🙄 For two, super speedy service even though it was mega busy. Food off the wall amazing. We had the Lasagne and Hunters Chicken - highly recommend both. Fellow flippin’ patrons lovely and friendly! Management real and attentive. If I lived nearby this would definitely be my local ❤️ Thank you Bag ‘O’ Nails. You’ve nailed it re the perfect pub 😁👍🥰 x

Nice staff, good tasty simple pub food, nice and close to Wicked the musical.

D. K.

Rosina and the 2 Gent bar staff. Were very hospitable to me on ordering beer and crisps. Even gave samples of brewdog IPA & Portobello Pilsinor. Highly delighted :) , sign in was quick and swift. Even having alternative QR Code when 1st never worked. All the best David

J. C.

Nice small pub to have a drink and/or something to eat not far away from Buckingham Palace and Victoria train/bus station. They have a large selection of beers, spirits, wines and soft drink. Staff are nice, friendly and helpful

C. A.

A nice friendly pub close to Buckingham Palace. A large selection of real ales and a decent selection of meals.

K. S.

Every were was packed after the theatre show. Managed to get in here. Pub is brilliant but will only give 4 out of 5 for food. Staff really nice xx

D. S.

Such a nice welcoming pub right next to the palace. Food to eat and great brews to drink. Highly recommend stopping by!

B. B.

Amazing pub! Lovely team, the General Manager Andy is super nice. Great place to meet local people on a Live music night!

J. G.

I still remember coming here while on holiday, in March 2013. Had the absolute best venison blueberry burger, I remember ordering a Guiness too without knowing if it was good that day or not. I didn't like it at all, but all the food we had there was great and the other beers we had were great. The service was great, there is nothing that I can say they fell short on. If I ever get the chance to come back to London, I would come back to eat here.

R. B.

Great place!! It was my third time this week there, I try to visit every time I’m over in London. Super location just off the palace, yet somehow quiet area. I still have to experience it at night but as a solo female traveller the staff were always super nice. Also their traditional pub food is simply mouthwatering!

P. S.

Was lovely place we was in London for 2 days and was very impressed with this bar male staff was lovely girl was mostly on her phone and looked like serving was to much trouble but overall lovely place would definitely visit again if come back to london

D.

You can't get any closer to Buckingham palace and have a beer! Surprisingly not as exspensive as you'd imagine given its in the heart of London and next to the palace. Very friendly staff amazing.

M. M.

Lovely busy pub right near Victoria Underground station. Good beer, very nice gammon and a lively atmosphere

We found this place on the corner near the Airbnb that we rented in London. It is a pretty well established pub so we decided to give it a try. The pub is a little small and does not have a lot of seatng on the ground floor, but there is a dining room upstairs. While we were there though, it was closed off for a special event We needed to either wait for a table or use takeaway, but we found one before long. It took a bit of time to get our order in due to the fact that there was only one person working at the bar. He was however very polite when he finally took our order. When the food eventually came out, they delivered the dessert before they delivered our food, so the table got a little bit crowded and are desert (sticky toffee pudding) had to be rushed through in order to make room for the rest of the plates. I had the beef burger and the wife had the chicken burger. Both were a little dry. We also try to Scotch egg which was a meat experience. All in all with the service wait times and the limited seating, it was just ok, but the s tag was very polite. My rating system consists of a 3-star being exactly what you expected and neither good nor bad. A 4 means something was extra special and a 5 means you were blown away. A 2 star rating was disappointing and a 1-star rating is terrible

T. a. l. i. F.

Good, friendly bar with a reasonable range of drinks and a good food menu. Close to Victoria Station and down the road from Buckingham Palace.

J. R.

Top bar. I've only been the once on a flying visit from Newcastle crashing in Waterloo. I blasted through several late afternoon beers with my colleagues who had just finished meeting a new client there. Good vibes abound and punters like me ate and drank inside and out, as the weather was great. Give it a try.

C. H.

Nothing special really it's a perfectly fine pub. Good food good beer and a good space. I had a great couple of days here while I stayed in London.

C. P.

Staff was very friendly and serves us quickly. We only had drinks but they have a locely upstairs and big menu, so will give it a go next!

G. R.

2 levels and a great pub atmosphere. Bartender knew lots about the area. Beautiful traditional interior

C. K.

Went here on a visit to London. The food was amazing and the staff friendly and inviting. If you are in the area we 100% recommend you visit. P.S. the mac and cheese was to die for.

S.

Excellent food and service. Cosy little place... went two weeks in a row with work colleagues.

K. B.

I was visiting London last holiday, my mother and I ate there and I have to say, I ate the best fish and chips and mushy peas that I have ever had! A1 quality and great dining experience! I recommend to ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY who is visiting London!

K. K.

Good food and good service, would recommend if in the area and looking for good pub grub.

P. F.

C. J. G.

Super location near to Buckingham palace. Good food and drinks.

A. A.

Near Buckingham Palace, good for lunch. Various menù, grilled chicken, hamburger, salade, fish & chips. At least seven/eight beer . The place is small, more or less 20 seats.

D. J.

First time coming to this bar very nice area very nice for a quiet drink, However………….. Staff members are not so as friendly or as welcoming in fact it seems like they just want to turn people away then actually serve them just the vibe that you get from them.

M. P.

Average food and beer. Nice environ.

R. g.

Great lunch stop off, had just been to Apsley House and then came across this place.

H. N.

Fun place, good beers, friendly staff, though it gets a little crowded when brewery tour groups come through on the weekends. The experience was excellent.

M. K.

Bang average functional friendly London pub. Good pint of Green King IPA but sadly no snacks. Worth a visit if you are in the area

D. P.

Nice typical pub in elegant area just few block from Buckingham Palace, vegan options available. The fish&chips was huge, very satisfying!

C. P.

Nice old pub near the Queen's gallery, perfect place to wait for your visit at the gallery while enjoying a beer or having food, place is nice, clean, staff was kind and friendly, several craft beers available which makes this a very good place to stop by.

A. C.

Good food and service. A nice place to eat and have a drink if you're near Buckingham Palace.

T. N.

Very friendly bar tender. Good food and location.

N. L.

It was quiet there on a Sunday mid afternoon. Friendly staff and very clean. Beer was good but on 2 real ales on probably due to lower covid trade. A good stop on our walk around.

C. M.

The owner was so helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was so good, thank you so much 😎

S. T.

Use this pub every time I visit London via Victoria.. slight inflated prices large vodka £9.50 .. but lovely staff .. seating outside ..

N. K.

I am American and have been going there for over 15 years when in London . A charming place. I have my table by the window and a mug to keep me happy. I will be back after Covid! Cheers! And condolences to Her Majesty and the family on HRH Prince Philip’s passing.❤️

E. D.

The best pub in London! The best breakfast too!! The service was excellent!

Cozy, friendly pub in Victoria. Great service for food and drinks. Gramos was also extremely helpful and proactive about finding my one lost earring! Thank you!

My favourite Victoria pub. The most welcoming and accommodating service and great beers. Try the chicken platter too!

l. t.

Fantastic pub with a lovely atmosphere, great staff and service, food was excellent we look forward to visiting again!

T. M.

Nice pub right down the road from Buckingham palace.

J. D.

Lovely pub staff very welcoming

C. K.

Great atmosphere of what you imagine an English pub to be like. Good choice of (local) beers. Excellent service by one waiter who had let me try three different beers before choosing a pint of it. There were two other waitresses at the bar which just talked but didn't serve anyone, even when there was a line. Would've been 5 stars otherwise.

C. F.

Good food, nice place and really polite staff. I enjoyed it

P. H.

Nice quiet pub. The price of £12.50 for a round of two pints might not be for everybody, but in this area you can't really find it cheaper. This place has much friendlier staff and is a much nicer experience than in a neighbouring pub, which is named after a fabulous English playwright.

E. S.

My partner and I stopped here for lunch after a morning tour. We were seated immediately. The dining room was well lit and welcoming. The server recommended a meat pie, which we ordered to share with an extra side of veggies. The pie was great. There was a hard ginger beer on the menu, which I've never seen before. Loved it.

F. O.

Nice pub with good food not far from the palace. Especially many local residents around noon and in the afternoon on Fridays.

D. M.

Great atmosphere and the staff is very nice!

O. F.

This pub was amazing great food and great beer!! Awesome first meal in london!!

D. S.

Quaint little pub in a quiet side road. Friendly staff and locals who welcomed our group with open arms. Plenty of indoor seating and can drink on the pavement outside too. The only big downside are the prices. Over £6 per pint and it was over £24 for two double JD & cola and three scampi fries!

J. R. A.

Lovely freindly pub always pop in there lovely food as well a must visit when in London

V. S.

Good pub, very English! Close to Buckingham palace. Upstairs is good only. I'm not giving it 4 stars because they don't have prices for spirits on the menu, very strange. I ended up paying £50 on drinks just for myself. I don't mind paying but I just don't like to be surprised :(

K. Y.

Great atmosphere and good service for my time in London

A. J.

Delicious breakfast for a great price. Friendly, helpful staff.

J. E.

Amazing service with a smile couldn't do more for us after my husband had finished half marathon...even charged my daughters phone for her will deff be back

J. G.

On a busy Buckingham palace road great for people watching. Staff very nice and a perfectly pulled pint of Guinness

C. J.

On my first day at London, I was looking for a traditional English pub and Bag O Nails absolutely nailed it! Friendly service, great brew and the Fish n Chips is to die for! Highly recommend. Gets very crowded on weekend evenings.

D. D.

My wife and I both saw this old English looking pub while walking around looking at sites. Seems like a decent beer selection but we were not super knowledge about the beers. Ordered Fish and Chips for our first dinner in the UK, was not impressed. They were good, we ate all of the meal, but wasn't anything special. Overall not bad, decent place to stop, but for an out of towner I was not wowed.

R. C.

Don't like only card pubs. Staff friendly.

C. G.

Nice little pub just behind Bucks P. Friendly staff and good beer selection.

A. H.

Lovley attentative service in what was clearly a busy lunch for the pub. Perfect location and lovely food although this did take around 40 minutes to be served but tasted great. The manager on shift was very polite and calm during what seemed a crazy afternoon. Would return... maybe not over a lunch hour again.

M. L.

I visited this pub recently with my brother after a long walk and I must say it was everything and more you would expect from a proper english pub! The staff was so welcoming and friendly, even though we came during rush hour and the place was packed. The food was excellent and so was the beer selection. Would definitely recommend!

B. E.

Typical pub feeling. Good food and atmosphere.

G. “. M.

Nice little pub in the middle of Victoria. Had a nice pint, but like most bars in London this place closed at 11pm and they were very quick to usher us out of the place. Would definitely go back but will show up earlier so that I can spend more time enjoying myself in the place. The staff also let me get a last min whiskey even though they were getting ready to close which was very nice of them!

D. D.

Excellent pub with a nice atmosphere in a great location serving a very good selection of beers and ales. Nice , friendly , happy staff too. Would definitely recommend to friends and return if I’m in the area again. 👍

D. h.

Friendly staff food was great only thing is they don't offer kids menu which is a shame

P. L.

Good place for a pint as they say. Didnt have any food but it looked good

E. M.

I can only speak to one aspect of the place, the courtesy of the staff member I spoke to. My wife and I were on a long walk through London when she REALLY needed to use a WC. We went into Bag O Nails and I asked a server/ bartender if she could use their restroom. He kindly pointed us in the right direction. While she was doing her business, I observed a pleasant, active place, with lots of customers and activity. The ambiance was appropriately themed for a cafe/tavern, with a number of TVs with sport channels playing, etc. I don't drink alcohol, but if I did and lived in the area, I could see using it frequently as a watering hole.

J. E.

Fans of opera will enjoy the 1Hour plus tour just a few paces from Convent Garden. Be sure to make reservations. There is a welcome cafe and tour tickets entitle you to a 10% discount on purchases (both at the Cafe and gift shop)

J. v. o. M. a. J. w. G.

So accommodating...we walked in to find only hi tops available but couldn't get up on the chair with bad knees. They bent over backwards showing and telling us that a tible would open up very soon. They were correct and a table ooened up promptly. Food took a bit long but was delicious. Best staff of any pub we patroned

P. R.

Great location, staff was extremely friendly and food was fantastic. Would highly recommend.

A. L.

Good place to stop and grab a bite to eat. My husband and I were coming back from Buckingham Palace, wondering why the heck it was so crowded (turns out Charlotte of Cambridge had been born that morning); we were hungry and this place looked good to us. I had some sort of beef pie (that's not on the menu now, it appears). It was delicious, came with mash and a little gravy boat, so awesome! My husband had something smaller, but still as good. We found out later that Bag O' Nails is one of a series of pubs throughout London owned by the same company - we went to another similar pub a few days later and were well fed also. Recommended if you're in the area. Food, beer, and service were all good.

C. p.

Friendly service. Great food. Great atmosphere.

F. G.

Cool small pub, great for a beer after seeing the palace nearby. Second bar upstairs is cozy. We were reprimended for walking up the stairs with beers, I thought that's was uncalled for, must happen all the time

S. M.

Lovely boozer. The barman was oblivious to who Eric and Jimi is 🤣🤣🤣

G. A.

Cozy pub. Nice staff that are always respecting the rules and government advice. I've been visiting this pub and feeling safe with the government guidelines being followed. Highly recommended 👌

R. N.

Enjoyable times in one of my local pubs with good banter between me and the staff. Usually drink Guinness which is good. Can recommend.

L. “. E.

Beautiful little pub just round the corner from Buckingham palace. Extremely efficient and friendly staff and a great offering of Gin n Tonics. We will be using this place more often.

J. M.

Great pub to get a beer after work. Traditional and cozy, just like the old days. Also a good starting point after getting off the train at Victoria before heading off to Buckingham palace, Hyde park and beyond.

T. Y.

Don't expect to be blown away, but don't expect to find anything horrible either. A perfectly fine pub, although probably more expensive than it should be given how middle-of-the-road their food is. Staff are helpful and pleasant, which is a definite plus.

S. I.

Very pleasant and friendly bar staff, enjoyed our visit

R. P.

Our group had fish and chips and the chicken and mushroom meat pie. Both were excellent. Good beer selection, great pub ambiance.

L. C.

Very friendly staff and good food

C. T.

A place to have a beer and some nice food after a day in the capital. A stones throw from Buckingham palace so even Lizzy might drop in. Some nice ales on and staff happy to give you a sample. Well worth a visit..

G. P.

Ok, however 6 cask ales displayed on the bar and not one available. Should not be displayed if cannot be provided, regardless of the reason.

L. V. P.

Typical English pub with typical English fare. If you like this sort of food and drink, you won't be disappointed, but also won't be floored by the food or decor. Service was very friendly. Had reservations which meant we ate upstairs, but in my opinion, it looked more fun and friendly in the downstairs area.

H.

Called in for lunch with 3 friends and we dined upstairs. Good sized portions of tasty fish, chips and mushy peas. Friendly and prompt service most enjoyable.

S. M.

Had couple of drinks and fish and chips. Enjoyed it.

D. P.

A nice pub with good food choices. The fish and chips were crisp and tasty. The pulled pork burger had a rich beef and pork flavor. The main reason for only 3 stars is service has been consistently mediocre.

M. S.

I've been coming here off and on since around 1984. Good solid reliable pub. Decent beer, decent food, friendly and efficient staff. Can't go wrong.

S. G.

I didn't actually enter this place.. I wish I did.. Looking at other people's reviews and photos, the food looks delightful.. I saw the sign hanging outside and snapped a photo, but at the time I didn't realise it was a pub.. Maybe next time I nip over from Australia I'll stop in for a pint and a plate of nosh.. 😎

m. r.

Great pub service very good will be back

B. M.

Good enough of a pub for a pint after taking visitors around Buckingham Palace and such. Expect it to be touristy because that is what its there for!. But a good selection of beers, food, and clean enough!

A. K.

Friendly service, ok food.

J. D.

Old style pub. Good beer but disinterested staff

M. P.

Sold beer. I bought the beer. I drank the beer.

G. S.

It was OK, the Guinness to was fine, but their 2 draught IPAs are utter rubbish. Service was fine but some of the beer is hit and miss.

L. S. S.

Beer selection wasn't the greatest but good enough. But the pies were really good. It's not everyday that u have a bone marrow pie. Will definitely be going back again.

K. K.

If you arrive at Victoria station and walk to Buckingham palace, you'll pass right by this pub. It's on a corner making for a great atmosphere especially in summer when the sun is out, when patrons spill out onto the street. A smaller pub than some others in the area but still a good experience.

C. B.

Good beer, good service and good value food.

G. R.

A good pub located close to Buckingham Palace and Mews. Refuel here after seeing the changing of the guard. Classic English pub food that won't disappoint. Sunday roast here is worth a try.

M. C.

The food was good and realy British so it's a good place for tourist next to Buckingham. But there was a leak in the toilet and a bit dirty, and the waiter ask us for 10€ of tips haha of course we didn't give that much, to expensive for an average service.

V. M.

Nice oldie world pub nice to sit and relax. Friendly staff.

M. M.

Great pub located a few hundred yards from victoria station. This pub has outdoor seating and a reasonable selection or ales and lagers. I believe food is also available

A. H.

Great little pub next to Buckingham palace. Staff always so friendly and the food is great, perfect for a quick pit stop or after work drinks

C. F.

Our 1st nite in London, with Tickets to see Hamilton later that nite, we stopped in this friendly, sweet British pub. Charming, cozy pub with friendly staff and lots of shiny brass. We ate upstairs, and I had Fish & Chips, of course. Yum! My portion so large I had to share. No cocktail sauce, though. Burgers were good, too. Tried my 1st Peroni beer per Teresa's recommendation! It was delish. Plus, It's just around the corner from the Victoria Palace Theatre. Bag O' Nails is a Yes! 🇬🇧🍻😉

C. H.

Typical British pub with good food. Prices are moderate. We paid aprox. 30 GBP for below meal(for 2)

A. D.

Really nice meal in this busy pub with really helpful and friendly staff. Good atmosphere with general buzz and we were not rushed even though it was busy

J. Y.

Great beer! Make sure you read the menu which says "order at the bar" & same for drinks. Lots of flags and decor and stuff. Bathrooms are clean!

R. A.

Pleasant but unremarkable pub with a great location. Good for avoiding the more brushed-aluminium floor-to-ceiling bars in the area. A proper pub with friendly staff.

L. v. V.

Great food, good beer, good price. Very nice location with an authentic feel to it. Very hospitable servers too. Well worth a visit!

M. T.

came in here yesterday 21/8/19 great place made to feel welcome as soon as you go in . we had lunch loads to choose from and the food was great . well done to all the staff a really friendly place .

N. G.

Quick service, pricey drinks but hey, that's London for ya.

C. B.

Good friendly pub :)

C. S.

Lovely pub on the corner, the wooden style of the interior is pretty cozy, and the price was affordable.

M. D.

The Johnny Walker Steak and Ale Pie is amazingly good. 4 star there, however my husbands steak was tasteless totally, do not reccomend to people from the US where food, especially steak is heavily seasoned, Place (street level) is very small and crowded but the staff friendly.

J. D.

Nice staff. Decent prices for Victoria. Can't complain

P. C.

Great location, decent spot for lunch and a pint.

F. H. H. S. U. “.

Really nice traditional pub situated within spitting distance from The Buckingham palace. The fish & chips are a must.

S. C.

Good food. Service is decent. Small restrooms but seems normal for older London establishments. Smaller than expected portions.

C. D.

What a great little pub for both food and drink ! Also obviously was once a very good music venue too as pretty much all the biggest bands and performers have been there at some point even my all time favourite Jimi Hendrix 👍

S. R.

Amazing fish and chips at a great price. Right next to Buckingham Palace.

S. M.

Food disappointing, wish I went to Wetherspoons

A. P.

Excellent meat pies and fish and chips, as well as a good selection of beers on tap. Friendly atmosphere and excellent service.

B. G.

Great food and very welcoming

A. D.

Really busy when we were there but we managed to get a table outside. Friendly and helpful staff. Good fish and chips.

T. H.

Lovely pub!

D. S.

Good Fish 'n Chips. Also, Good Steak & Wine pie. On holiday in London, and I hope to go back to Bag Of Nails once more.

C. D.

Great for people watching if you sit outside. Friendly staff

M. B.

Busy but good atmoso9and bartender upstairs!

P. M.

It is next stop in our trip after pub next to tower bridge. Very nice place! Good job guys!

D. G.

Nice pub, good staff, very covid aware and no social distancing issues. Will return.

F. N.

The chicken mushroom pie and the fish and chips were amazing! And they had I think a mango Cider on tap that was to die for! Yum yum!!

J. H.

Taylor Walker pub close to Buckingham Palace, and as such mainly frequented by tourists. It's Victorian but the interior isn't hugely exciting. They used to do a vegetarian "fish" and chips here (deep fried halloumi!). Sadly Taylor Walker seems to have removed it from the menu in all of their pubs. I tried the veggie burger they replaced it with and it was not very good - some mashed up non descript vegetables which fell apart as soon as you picked the thing up. Perhaps one of the few redeeming features of this pub is that it's open on Sunday evenings - most of the pubs around here aren't. One theory for the origin of the pub name "bag o nails" is that it is actually a corruption of bacchanals, referring to Bacchus, the Greek god of wine (and/or his imp-like wine swilling minions).

R. H.

Great little pub located close to Victoria Station and across the street from the horse guards Barrick at Buckingham Palace, it serves a good selection of ales and beers and food is good but it's the comfortable feeling of this pub which draws us back on every trip to London.

M. N.

Perfect pub for English grub.

A. H.

Nice pub right beside Buckingham Palace, stopped in for a beer after a long walk. Lots of people having lunch etc. Nice spot.

T. C.

Good food excellent friendly service

M. P.

Atmosphere was good old pub. The full fish and chips was good for 2 to share, prices high as you would expect this close to buckingham palace.

J. N.

Fab pub. Just had a lovely ipa. Menu looked good. Good covid measures in place.

s. 2. (.

This place has always excellent food an excellent drinks very popular destination right across from Buckingham Palace well-known place all countries love the place happy loving it funny atmosphere it can be a bit crowded when the football is on but otherwise a very good place

K. M.

Good ales and service.

A. P.

There were no bags of nails

J. S.

Not sure if this place is a chain or what but we were around Buckingham palace and hungry. In London so we got the fish and chips. They were really good

N. M.

One of the great pub, with a nice staff, in London

A. S.

Good for a quick drink after work or show. Didn't try restaurant. May be good Convenient for Victoria station.

J. B.

It's an ok pub franchise. Pot of tea for 2 gives you 1 and a half cups of warm tea with one tea bag. Toilets are dirty and hand dryer doesn't work

So, just walked in, I'm a diabetic, and my sugars were low, for any of you that know, we are incohent in this state, the manager was amazing, he could have kicked me out, I know this as I'm in the hospitality game at his level, instead he took care of me and gave me what I needed, he saved my life, well done and a massive thank you

A. C.

A characterful bar and the food looked hearty (didnt eat) but the two beers we had were disappointing. Could just have been unlucky!

S. G.

Just had drinks, seems a nice place with a good atmosphere. Seems to be a place Americans go. Nice decor, good little pub.

H. H.

Lovely pub at lunchtime. Staff are friendly and the food is really good.

S. E.

Strange that the manager didn't want us to sit at the out side table. Came to us twice to sort of tell us to move. We bought a drink and was going to order food but he said they were short staffed so we moved on

T. L.

Really friendly place, food was great!

R. G.

Good food, great selection of beers on tap, has outdoor seating. Friendly staff.

I found this pub in accident. I like the old pub. This looks so british and cozy. I had fish & chips. It is really good. You should try it.

Pint of London Pride was good, staff pleasant but unfortunately the food was quite poor. Woul recommend for a beer only.

Great Pub atmosphere - very good food and an equally good range of beer on tap - excellent service.

Great burgers and Guinness Stouts

The menu is the standard English fare, the four stars are for the millennium cheese cake, perhaps one of the best I've ever had.

N. T.

Nice central pub. Expect central prices 💸💸💸

S. R.

Nice enough pub but clearly there to profit from tourists. Beer is more expensive so difficult to give it more than 3 stars.

Nice pub. Good food available and reasonably priced for it's location.

This is a lovely pub with loads of character (not the artificially added character you get in places). There are nice cocktails too!
