You needn’t work up a sweat walking to some of the spectacular pubs and bars that surround The Marylebone.

The Carpenters Arms

The Carpenters Arms public house offers a slice of respite amongst the hustle and bustle of London’s West End. Just a short walk from Hyde Park, around the corner from Oxford Street, The Carpenters Arms is the perfect place to watch London’s biggest racing event.

Whether or not you’re a local, a warm welcome is given to all who walk through its doors.

The Bloomsbury, a timeless hidden London gem, is also a stone’s throw away from some superb London pubs and bars.

Philomena’s Irish Sport’s Bar and Kitchen
