The Morpeth Arms is a public house at 58 Millbank, in the Pimlico district of London. It was built in 1845 to refresh prison warders serving at the Millbank Penitentiary.[1]

It now contains a Spying Room which provides a good view of the headquarters of the Secret Intelligence Service MI6 across the river Thames.[2] The building is listed as Grade II and it is now part of the Young's estate.[2][3]
