The Plumbers Arms is a Grade II listed public house at 14 Lower Belgrave Street, Belgravia, London SW1. [1]

It is where Lady Lucan burst in on the evening of 7 November 1974, covered in blood and fearing for her own life, after discovering that her husband, Lord Lucan, had murdered their nanny, Sandra Rivett. [2] [3] (Lord Lucan's subsequent disappearance means this case has never been tried in court, but his wife identified him as her assailant and he was named as the murderer at the coroner's inquest).

It was built mid-19th century. [1]

Richard John Bingham, 7th Earl of Lucan, commonly known as Lord Lucan, was a British peer who disappeared after being suspected of murder. He was an Anglo-Irish aristocrat, the eldest son of George Bingham, 6th Earl of Lucan, and Kaitlin Dawson. Lucan was an evacuee during the Second World War but returned to attend Eton College, and served with the Coldstream Guards in West Germany from 1953 to 1955. Having developed a taste for gambling, he played backgammon and bridge, and was an early member of the exclusive group of rich British gamblers at the Clermont Club. Lucan's losses often exceeded his winnings, yet he left his job at a London-based merchant bank and became a professional gambler. He was known as Lord Bingham from April 1949 until January 1964, during his father's lifetime.
