Impressive,large Youngs Pubco. house opposite Kingston Hospital so expect nurses and other NHS staff to use it.The interior is on multiple levels which creates nooks and crannies but quite a few steps to negotiate.The side entrance leads to the L shaped Tap room,with bench seating along the Kingston Hill side,and two discrete seating sections while to the left the ceiling extends to an ornate pattern high above the rear lounge,with a seating booth,higher level small lounge and raised rear section.Real fireplaces retain wood burners,there is wood panelling and overall a classy feel.
The beer garden is down some steps at the lower level and wraps around the building,with some covered areas.There is a Monday jam session,Tuesday quiz,a running club meeting at the pub and so on lending a community feel.The muzak was good on my visit while at the bar just Youngs London Original and St Austell Proper Job (NBSS 3) on offer.
Decent enough pub with some interesting features,the Proper Job saved the day.

Large Youngs pub up the hill out of Kingston - is accessible from the main entrance on Kingston Hill but comprises a warren of small linked spaces. It would at one time have had several bars - it was a traditional local within recent memory, but was ripped out and gentrified a few years ago as is current Youngs style. Beers were the usual Youngs range plus at the time of visit Twickenham Fine Ales Grandstand - this was £5.05 (it isn't just the hill that's steep) and I felt it was a bit stale though not undrinkable. Facilities include free wifi, dog water bowls for those canine friends who may have just walked either up the hill or in nearby Richmond Park, baby changing facilities. There is a secluded outside courtyard and a cosy downstairs seating area off it.

Imposing Youngs pub in suburbia atop a hill overlooking a junction. Has been subject to a forcible refurb by the company but, as far as we could see, rather well. Internally it’s a hodge-podge of separate knocked-through areas on different levels. An upmarket feel (or perhaps better described as below – ‘grand and ostentatious’) with feature fireplace, ceiling mouldings, arched and bay windows, statement light fittings and a nice carved wood blue bar front. Also noted was a downstairs room and access to a semi-secret patio. We took ourselves to the easy chairs in front of the old fireplace, catching sight of the wood busts of Victoria and Albert. Six pumps at the bar, 2x Youngs Bitter, Youngs Special and a guest in Pumphouse Pale (good nick). Annoyingly the other two guests - Wimbledon Common and Sambrook Wandle – were not available. Being a refitted Youngs pub, prices were inevitably on the steeper side. Overall I quite liked it here despite its upmarket pretensions. 6.5 - would have been a 7 if one of the other guests was on.
