The Kings Arms

A Georgian pub at the end of the street film crews use for Victorian London, with fluted pilasters and iron grilles across its front.

Historic interiorNotable building

An end-of-terrace building of the early or middle nineteenth century, three storeys in stock brick under a parapet, with a cornice and a pediment set centrally at second-floor level. The sash windows have moulded architraves and margin lights. The ground floor is the part to look at: fluted pilasters with floral capitals dividing the bays and carrying an entablature, panelled stall risers under the windows and iron grilles above them, and attached columns flanking the door on the angle.

It is the corner of Roupell Street, two unbroken rows of 1820s artisans' cottages that survived the Blitz and the developers, and it belongs to them - the pub was built for the people in the houses and still reads that way from the pavement.

Cask is the business here, and the kitchen is Thai, which in a Georgian room is less incongruous than it sounds after the first pint.
