Kings Arms, SE1

A nice looking side street pub,a single carpeted room with simple,functional seating, the bar is centrally positioned and semi ornate with some brasswork. Five handpumps on the bar with a choice of Timothy Taylor Landlord, Purity Mad Goose, Marstons Sweet Chariot, Harveys Best and a reasonable Trumans Swift. Not a bad pub.

quite a nice place off the bustling main road that felt pleasingly old fashioned inside - obviously a deliberate decor choice but nicely done all the same. reasonable if unexciting beer choice. mixed clientele. Decent laid back pub.

Well described below, this is a simple yet comfortably traditional pub with a central bar sporting some rather gaudy brasswork, looking rather out of place; friendly staff too. There were two TVs on high but as both were off, I know not when they come on. Quiet on our early evening arrival, it soon began to fill up with office workers but as we left shortly after, I don't know just how busy it gets. Ales: something I can't recall, TT's Landlord, Harvey's Sussex Best, Purity's Mad Goose and Truman's Runner at £4.60 a pint - a little dear for this type of pub. This is a welcome retreat from the bustle of Borough Market and for a quiet drink is miles better than the mayhem that is The George just up the road.

Traditional side street pub with a lovely façade (the exterior plaque was originally sited on the old London Bridge) and a small L shaped interior. Pleasingly clean and comfortable inside, with dark third length wood panelling, mirrored fireplace inset and unusual twirly brass bar mounted glass holders / uplighters. Five pumps, all on; Timothy Taylor Landlord, Mad Goose Purity, Brains Rev James, Harveys Sussex Best and Truman's Swift at £2.10, a half. Adventurously priced bar snacks, with a sausage roll at £3.50 and a pork pie £4. Noticeably busier than the nearby competition and perhaps understandable given my experiences during the evning. A decent little place and worth popping in. 7.5
