Taken over by Market Taverns in summer 2023 and with 'Arms' returned to its name - it had originated as the Spencer Arms Hotel, a stage stop at the edge of Putney Common.

After a spell as the Putney Page from 2002 to 2005, the Spencer became an award winning dining pub, tastefully refurbished and attracting a smart, young clientele. One side is restaurant-style; the other is a comfortable lounge with sofas.

The TV is often silent; there is quiet background music and occasionally a jazz or blues singer. The pub overlooks the Common. . Bus 22 from Piccadilly Circus terminates here. Up to four local beers may be available. Surrey Hills Shere Drop and Wimbledon Common were good on 29 September 2023.
