The Gazebo, Kingston Riverside, Kingston Upon Thames

Bucking Fastard left this review about The Gazebo

Sam Smiths keg only tied house,I used to drink here in the 80's shortly after it's opening along the Riverside Walk developement .The unused gazebos still exist and there are customer only tables right by the waterfront below these wooden structures.There are 24 hour free mooring for boats here ,read the small print on the "No Mooring" signs !!
The interior is off the path and opens into a smart lounge with banquettes and upmarket furniture with the bar running along the rear wall.I plumped for a half of their Extra Stout which set me back £3.20,gone are the days of Humphrey offering value pricing on his beer.
Strangely both the first floor lounge and the charming terrace are only accessed by the external staircase to the left of the building near the beer garden.The terrace gives wonderful views of the Thames,boating traffic and Kingston Bridge and so I could almost forgive Sam Smiths for their dull keg beers given this facitity.Food is popular here ,and it feels respectable rather than a circuit boozer.No need for me to return.
