The seats were uncomfortable and the food was super bland. I had the Sunday roast and the pork was literally just fat. It was also really packed and for me it didn’t feel like a warming cozy pub which is what I’m looking for when I go for Sunday roast. I couldn’t wait to get out of there since the seats were plastic and didn’t have a backrest.

Been to this place a couple of times now and I like it. We tend to sit outside and they could maybe do with some heaters, but apart from that it's decent. Great and quick service - actually moved over from another bar as the service was taking too long and you certainly don't suffer the same issue here. Friendly bar staff, good selection of beers, cider, wine, spirits etc. Would recommend.

Visited with friends after a trip round The Tate, this is a lovely pub just a short stroll away and right by the river. There is a good selection of high quality dishes on the menu and the staff are super friendly and attentive. A really nice, relaxed ambience and a great way to finish off our visit. Highly recommended.

This pub was built in 1845 on the site of what was Millbank prison ond is situated on the north bank of the Thames just by Vauxhall bridge. The Morpeth is an elegant looking Victorian pub which sits alongside similar looking grand victorian houses on Millbank. Inside the elegance continues with dark wood floors, sumptuous

Nice pub in a great location next to Tate Britain and near Vauxhall bridge, playing on the spy theme with it's proximity to MI6 building. We came for lunch - good food, friendly service, characterful decor. I didn't have one, but my dining companion said 'best scotch egg' he's ever had. The menu, although not huge, has something for everyone including vegetarians. We ordered fish and chips, burgers, sandwiches and sausages with chips. There is a kids menu too.

Just stopped in for a few minutes but found ourselves spending a few enjoyable hours in this delightful old pub. It is fantastically popular with both young and old apparently. Throngs of young people gathered out front so we took a chance for seating and quiet inside. Much better according to my ears. It's attractive inside with the usual chairs but also yellow leather tufted sofas as well around old worn tables. The walls boasted waifs and either criminal booking or wanted posters. Seems there was once a prison across the street. This was the watering hole for the prison's jailers and

A Young's pub situated just off Vauxhall Bridge and a couple of minutes walk from Pimlico tube station. The Morpeth Arms sits on the north bank of the Thames overlooking the MI6 building and just along from The Tate Gallery.
Iinside, it is a very traditional pub, with a bit of history too. Prisoners were once held in holding cells in the basement for a nearby prison, and myth has it that The Morpeth Arms is haunted by these prisoners! I always like a pub with a story to tell!
The Morpeth also makes the most of it's location opposite MI6, naming one of it's rooms 'The spying

Went here for an afternoon pint and fish and chips. The location is perfect - away from the hustle and bustle of Westminster but close enough to the bus and the Thames that you're not going out of your way for good food.
As opposed to some pubs I've been into, there were lots of well-priced options on the menu, from burgers to salad to Sunday roast. My friend and I both got fish and chips, which were perfect - not too many chips, but that's ok. The fish itself was well fried and not greasy.
Good charm, very friendly service, sunny and convenient location - I'm a fan!

Lovely pub very close to the Tate Britain.
Excellent selection of beers but the real star is the food.
Forget the disgusting subpar food you get in the "historical" London pubs that are always romanticized by tourists and locals alike, the chef here has elevated British food to a higher level.
The Ploughman lunch platter is a delightful, fresh and balanced revisitation of a classic and so is the rest of the food served here.
An excellent plus is that the menu is also totally Vegetarian friendly.

A pleasant, old-school pub, close to the river in Pimlico, with an interesting history. Seemingly, this was the favoured pub of the staff from the old Millbank prison ( long since demolished), from where prisoners used to be shipped to Australia. Cursory sampling suggests the beer is well kept; the food menu is fairly middle of the road, in the mode of burgers , sandwiches, and fish and chips, but there are one or two nice touches ( e.g. properly traditional whitebait, and sharing platters such as the sausage platter-13 pounds- which is a good counterpoint/ballast for a few jars).

Not a bad little pub, not bad at all. Great location over looking the river and on a clear day the sun streams through the windows.
It feels like a really old house that should secret passages and stuff. It has gorgeous narrow stairs and little landing and poky rooms leading off of it.
I recall it had a good but not extensive wine selection and the little food that I tried (wedges and chips) wasn't too bad - if that could be used as any kind of measuring gauge.
Overall, I love the location, love the building and rather like the clientele. Yes, I will be back!

I used to work a 3 minute walk from the Morpeth and can confirm it's a perfect spot for some after-work drinks, especially on a sunny evening when the crowd spills out onto the pavement.
Definitely don't go out of your way to come to the Morpeth but it's nice enough if you're passing, and if it's a chilly day they have upstairs seating with sofas.
My favourite 2 things about the Morpeth however, are the picture of the Queen Mum pulling a pint behind the bar and, even better, the tales that the pub is haunted. A lot of Millbank is set above what used to be a prison and

It was probably not a good idea to walk here from the West End on Sunday afternoon. It was 25°C and I had eaten so much Dim Sum at the Crispy Duck (see review below) that I had the delightful experience of involuntarily regurgitating my Won Tons every fifteen minutes. (I really need to stop over-ordering at that place...and over-eating.) Nonetheless, my companion and I thought a brisk walk to the Morpeth Arms would help alleviate the guilt of consuming the calorie intake of a Sumo wrestler. Admittedly, this is a very pleasant walk along the north bank of the Thames, past Parliament and through
