Best Pubs in Kingston upon Thames

Sitting on the Thames just southwest of central London, Kingston upon Thames has a long history as a market town and royal borough. The riverside and old market square draw a mixed crowd, from students at Kingston University to families browsing the shops, while residential streets spread out towards Richmond Park and quieter Thames-side paths. It suits everything from a riverside pint on a summer afternoon to a proper night out near the station.

The pubs range from modern gastro operations to neighbourhood locals. The Park Tavern offers craft ales and premium spirits with screens for sport and a dog-friendly atmosphere, while Park Brew & Kitchen combines DJs, cocktails and a taproom feel with gastro food including Thai dishes. The Grey Horse - Smok'd brings cocktails and burgers with a DJ vibe, and Canbury Arms serves burgers, chips and pie in a child-friendly setting. There are sixty pubs across the borough covering most tastes.
