About The Kings Arms
Rooms at The Kings Arms come with en-suite bathrooms and the option of family accommodation, along with drinks available in-room and free WiFi throughout. It's a historic inn at heart, and that character carries through into the building's decor, with cosy corners and touches that make it feel more like a proper pub than a chain hotel. A bridal suite is also available for those staying around a wedding, and the venue itself hosts them too.
Downstairs, the restaurant and bar are the real draw, with a menu that runs to ribs, a Sunday roast and fish and chips, backed by a broad range of beers and cocktails. Board games are on hand for slower evenings, and the atmosphere tends towards warm and lively rather than quiet. Staff are attentive and the pricing is fair for what's on offer. Breakfast, packed lunches, and outdoor seating with a picnic area round out the practical side, alongside luggage storage, 24-hour reception and concierge services.
Kingston upon Thames puts guests within reach of Hampton Court Palace and Richmond Park, with walking areas, a golf course, and further pubs, restaurants and entertainment nearby for those wanting to venture beyond the inn itself.
