Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Very good. Lovely atmosphere and good range of drinks. Old school small pub with space outside in quiet streets.

Had a great time at The Carpenters Arms. Managed to reserve a table for 7 people at short notice. Lovely atmosphere and dog friendly.

I always stay at the Churchill Hotel at Portman Square. This is the best boozer that I have found nearby - great choice of beers, cool atmosphere, interesting crowd. Will always go back.

found this lovely pub by chance on our last day in London. we needed to fill in some time & have a few beers sceptical on London prices (been from York) I ordered 1 pint of bitter 1 half of larger 1 half of coke...£9.71 was the cost I had to ask for confirmation yes that's right £9.71 that'll do me (been a careful Yorkshire Man). this is a lovely old pub with a warm friendly welcome if I ever do come back to London for another holiday I will be having a few beers here. prices are cheaper than city centre pubs in York. this pub is well worth seeking out.More

Had an hour to walk to Paddington, and dropped in here in passing for a beer - just off the beaten track, it's a lovely traditional pub, with a decent beer selection, a couple of different sports on the TV, and service with a smile....A chance visit, but I will keep this in mind next time I find myself in the area, with big booths I could see it being easy to waste a few hours in here.More

We went to The Carpenter’s Arms multiple times to watch futbol (soccer) during our stay in London. The locals were friendly and the barmaids divine, especially Izzie! Although there is no hot food or drink, we were welcome to bring in whatever take-out we liked....Three TVs kept us on top of the action and the atmosphere kept us coming back for more!More

The pub has a traditional decor, reasonable amount of seating, clean toilets and a good range of beers (e.g. Harvey’s, Camden, Beavertown). The bar staff were friendly and many of the drinkers stood outside (it was a nice evening), but the street is quiet with...little traffic from 7-9pm. It’s a fairly quiet neighbourhood. The other drinkers were a nice bunch and we enjoyed our stay.More

A wonderful pub my son and I stumbled upon while staying in a nearby hotel. The staff are amazing and make you feel really welcome. We were in London for 3 nights and made sure we stopped in here each night. Despite the great location...of the pub they also don’t charge some of the silly prices that others nearby do. Would highly recommend a visitMore

Marylebone offers what so many London neighbourhoods
cannot: a village feel coupled with urban convenience.
Much of its success rests in its location. Wedged
between the northeastern corner of Hyde Park and the
southern end of Regent's Park and with a number of
Tube stations within easy reach, Marylebone is as
pedestrian friendly as Central London gets. The
bustling shopping mecca of Oxford Street separates it
