The Kings Arms in Lambeth

Easily one of the best pubs in the Waterloo local. The bar staff always go the extra mile to serve drinks in a quick and friendly manner! If you haven't been yet, go now!

Just went took round market was lovely atmosphere great craft stalls

A great corner pub that has maintained standards and atmosphere over the years I've "popped in". Range of beers good, to suit all palates, as well as the spiritual and grape based backups.

Great, found it by chance behind our hotel, we loved the beers, the peanuts and the dishes we had in the restaurant section! To discover

Fantastic back-street boozer near Waterloo on a really well preserved old street. The two bars in the pub are nice, each with it's own atmosphere. There's a great range of craft beers and ales, and the Thai food in the restaurant out the back (run as a separate business) is delicious.

Great experience and quick service. Careful if you sit next to the heater as it’ll be on full blast but otherwise great.

Excellent traditional London boozer.

The Kings Arms Waterloo 📍25 Roupell St, London SE1 8TB 🚇Waterloo 🍺 £6.70 Guinness Gorgeous pub,wonderful location amongst the 19th century cottages. It's like stepping back in time. 📅 2nd March 2024 More London Pub info @londonpubmap 🍻

Oustanding Thai food. Massaman curry to die for and the crispiest fresh spring rolls. Ignore that you can’t book or that getting a drink at the tiny pub at the front takes a while. This is a real gem in the gorgeous terraced backstreets near Waterloo.

A bit of a shock to discover I hadn't already reviewed this place, as it's my favourite pub in London. The pub itself is old school and serves consistently excellent real ale. The real secret is the Thai restaurant in the back that efficiently serves delicious home cooked food.

A really nice cozy traditional pub just outside of Waterloo station. This is a nice place to grab a drink and socialise with friends.

The pub is great but the food in the attached restaurant is epic. Genuine Thai. Seating is around long tables. Interesting decor, film posters. Amazing selection of beers. Best to reserve a place.

Great pub and friendly people. I enjoy stopping in when I visit London. Be sure to try the attached Thai restaurant. Great food!

I used to love this pub. It was my favourite local. The Thai food is excellent and this review in no way reflects the service of the restaurant at the rear. The pub itself is beautiful and cosy but the atmosphere is sadly ruined by the bar staff that seem to have been employed there recently. On more than one occasion I have had to put with rudeness, sarcasm and when I complained, smirking. Read the 1 star reviews and you will see that many have had similar experiences. A real shame to bring down a once local gem.

Wonderful venue to meet friends and very friendly accommodating staff

Excelente pub, aunque está rodeado de millones de casas de libras y cerca de Waterloo tiene un ambiente local adecuado. El personal es amable y eficiente. La gama de cerveza, barril y barril, es excelente. Las cervezas de barril están en excelentes condiciones. Todo esto y comida tailandesa de calidad . . ,

Very good, very busy and an excellent restaurant out the back doing amazing Thai food

Great place for a pint and Thai food near Waterloo.

This used to be a great pub until they allowed a "12 year old" assistant manager to run the place on a Saturday night! What a shame...

One of my favourite pubs for over 20 years. Simple. Great beer and great atmosphere.

We just popped in for a quick drink, we didn't eat. The staff were great and know how to poor a Guinness.

The classy mullet of London: traditional business up front,the Kings Arms check all the pub boxes. Party in the back with a Thai restaurant where we all cleaned our plates. Fantastic!

Really excellent London pub. Great range of draughts and really nice and friendly staff. Does get quite busy, no food!

We were disappointed by the food. Pad Thai, very little chicken (3 pieces) topped with some tofu and not as tasty as it used to be. Drinks and service: excellent

Stay at the pub and enjoy a lovely dinner at their attached Kanchana’s Kitchen Thai restaurant. Best Pad Thai in London

Came here to visit the Thai restaurant in the back room and not the pub itself. The food was tasty and quick to come out of the kitchen.

Superb little boozer, get here early if you want a seat, no idea about food here, but the atmosphere and ambience was excellent on a Wednesday evening.

Really nice Thai food, good vibes. Reasonable price.

The perfect go-to real ale pub with Thai food

Lovely pub with traditional vibes, very close to Waterloo and Waterloo East. Good meeting up place, also has restaurant side but did not experience this.

Refused to ta ke cash. 5 of us one drink and had to leave. So out of touch

Worth the hype. We decided to try out their Sunday roast dinner and were not disappointed. The staff were very kind and the food was great.

Fuimos por un par de cervezas y una cena temprano un domingo por la noche. El personal del bar y del restaurante era terriblemente grosero y desdeñoso. El tipo del bar parecía muy molesto porque interrumpí su charla y solo dije “¿Sí?” en un tono como si fuera indignante pedir una cerveza que estoy pagando. Era exactamente lo mismo en el restaurante. Le pregunté al camarero si estábamos en el lugar correcto para comer y su respuesta fue una mirada fija y una mirada puntiaguda a su reloj. Luego el mismo molesto “¿Sí?” al tomar las órdenes y casi tirar los cubiertos y platos delante de nosotros. Qué pena ya que la comida era muy buena, pero no me tratarán así, así que nunca volveré.

Classic Victorian pub in side-street near Waterloo Station. Real ales and traditional ciders always available

Such a great alternative to staying in a hotel. Large rooms with continental breakfast included in a great central location for a very reasonable rate. We were chuffed!

Drinkies only. Nice service, good honest pub.

I like to frequent this public house in the daytime at weekends when it is usually less busy. Friendly and helpful staff. Good selection of real ales, well kept. A good clean pub that is well managed. Reasonable prices for this area of London.

A proper British pub with real ales and a great bar team. Card only

We had a family get together on Saturday afternoon, it's a lovely traditional London Pub, friendly people, with friendly faces. The Thai Restaurant at the rear of the pub was very comfortable in both seating and atmosphere. We had a lovely meal (all freshly cooked) with a wide variety of choices. The bar staff were very pleasant and really helpful. We WILL definitely be returning, we had a really great time. Thanks to all your lovely Staff, especially the Barmaid from Walthamstow.

Very nice pub, will definitely come back

Ate well. I recommend because it's good Obviously you have to like cooking Cozy place, nice people Not bad beers

Love this pub. Great atmosphere and every single member of staff are friendly.

Such a gem! One of the best restaurants/bars in London. The service was phenomenal thanks to the well trained waiters (Kai,Shane). One hundred percent recommend

Excellent Thai food and has an awesome pub quiz on a Sunday night at 1930.

Just popped into this lovely local pub for a pint with friends. Great and friendly bar staff.. Didn't eat.

My first time here was a blast. However, I have been very disappointed today. We had booked a table for 6 and when we arrived we told us that the table was taken. We waited for some time and after a call with a manager they gave us a high table facing the wall. When we showed disappointment, we were told “if you don’t like it you can go” with a condescending tone. Then apparently call again the manager and never gave us an update. We left. No kindness or gesture of goodwill and most of all no apology all along for the mistake. And this goes without mentioning the price of a glass of wine…

Great place to drink a beer in a good atmosphere! The staff is very welcoming

Great Thai food and taste good. If the booking system can be improved and will be perfect. The system allow us to book a table at 12 noon but the restaurant part is only available at 1pm

Lovely traditional pub with a excellent choice of beers. A must when short cutting between blackfriars and Waterloo 👍

We were looking for a true authentic English pub experience, and this place did not disappoint! The decor and vibe are amazing, very local and authentic. Food and service were spectacular. You could tell Nathan really cares - barbecue sauce tartar sauce. Etc.. Everything was homemade. Best fish and chips we have ever had Was awesome!

A nice place to share with friends, have something for lunch, and beer for cheering special moments.

Limited menu but what we ordered was decent not the largest seating area the cutlery could do with a upgrade but maybe they are being retro.

Great old fashioned pub with a lovely Thai restaurant. Great quality and value.

Great pub on a quiet cottage-lined street. Must come back for the Thai food someday.

Lovely little spot on my pub crawl I had a nice beer and they had good selection Then I noticed In the back they have a kinda restaurant! Interesting space Will pass again if in that area.

In a suit, HRH King Charles looks like a normal man, but under that shirt the lads packin some pythons. Great to see a pub celebrate swole where it is deserved.

Stood outside this traditional old pub. Great area and beer was great.

Thai restaurant is excellent. The pub bit is okay.

Comida fantástica con personal fantástico! Sin duda recomendaría el Mac y queso. El servicio fue rápido y eficiente. Si usted consigue una mesa de ventana es una gran gente - lugar de observación también!

Bueno, de vuelta otra vez. Viajé desde Portsmouth solo para venir a este gran pub y fantástico restaurante tailandés. Como de costumbre personal muy amable tanto en el pub como en el restaurante y una gran selección de cerveza y comida. Visitar aquí ahora se ha convertido en una excursión mensual. Rodar en julio.

Top pub in a quiet central location. Great Thai food in the back. Perfect for Waterloo station.

Proper pub, good atmosphere, fine selection of beers

Clearly the allure some decent beer is strong here as this small pub was packed to the point of discomfort and so noisy we couldn't hear each other. I'm sure some people love that experience but I think I'd rather visit at a less busy time.

Shame all old bartenders gone, standard has gone down hill, not professional at all u could be waiting to be served for 20mins at the bar wont bat an eyelid even if you do catch their eye. Want a quick pint dont bother coming here

Great place for a pint before seeing a show. Staff really friendly and beer well kept.

Incredibly rude staff member and non apologetic even after we spoke to the manager. Snatching glasses and sarcasm towards customers is just rude.

A great traditional London pub. Excellent selection of beers and a good spirit selection. Very friendly Landlord and staff. Food provided by a superb Thai restaurant at the rear. You can eat it in the pub if you wish. Very close to Waterloo station. So good we travel up from Portsmouth just to go there.

Tucked away , great boozer with added bonus of, out of this world Thai food. Can't recommend highly enough

Don’t take people’s money for expensive pints if you’re then gonna aggressively make them switch to plastic cups and pressure them out the door half an hour before closing. I get that you wanna go home, but it’s rude and people would choose to spend their money elsewhere if they knew your closing times don’t mean anything.

First visit to the King's Arms very friendly barman great food highly recommended

Typical English pub with a wide menu. Well fast and not too expensive.

i’m very very satisfied! even if we came here at 2 pm (so maybe a little bit late for lunch) they served us some delicious plates. I think that the prices are right. as i said, the food was really good and the place is very beautiful.

Superb authentic Thai food and good vibes

An absolute treat of a pub, tucked away in a lovely spot a short hop and a skip from Waterloo station it's a real nice place. Plenty of variety of draughts (including an additional Irish stout to the usual Guinness) to keep everyone happy, there's very little to fault here. The pub has all the furnishings and features of an older pub, fitting in nicely to it's time capsule location, it's a real pleasure to be in. Gents' toilet is a little cramped for space but a very minor nit-pick. Will be heading back there for sure!

Great local near Waterloo. My go to place for after work drinks.

Still a great little pub, service always great, very welcoming Worth the visit

One of the best pubs in the land. No small rooms knocked into one antiseptic canteen and the restaurant is separate from the pub. No pub should have to turn itself into a restaurant as most pubs must in these stricken days. Needless to say, the ale at The King's Arms is excellent!

A great local pub a little hidden away, full of locals. A real British experience.

Great pub with an excellent range. Excellent thai food served in the restaurant Excellent atmosphere and friendly efficient staff.

We popped in for a quick drink after a meeting. The bar staff were happy for us to sit in the restaurant until.it opened.

the owner was running at me with a rush to have my pint at 9:10pm while i was only myself having it outside and reminding me that it's forbidden after 9pm to have your beer outside and showing me the sign which was fair enough. it was fair enough until i saw around a herd of people enjoying their beers outside around 10:15pm with great loud and cheering. either have rules being applied at all or have nothing..

Lovely little traditional pub near Waterloo station. Busy, with people spilling out into the street, a sign said "More seating upstairs", but when I tried to head upstairs, a barman shouted at me rather rudely in front of everyone that it was closed, which was rather upsetting, and ruined the otherwise pleasant experience.

Great beer, Great food and Great vibe 👌

The manger of this pub helped me today when I had an accident on my bike on the road outside. They were so lovely and helpful, and the atmosphere inside seemed really nice. I’ll definitely be back for a drink!

Atmospheric, historic 18th Century pub with great Thai food and a big selection of beers. Knocked a star off because of poor accessibility, but that's an unavoidable result of the age of the building.

Smashing pub. One of the best stouts I've had in London too. Drink Guinness ordinarily but really like their Forged Irish Stout stuff. Did get two different prices for the same round so be aware.

Lovely pub, very popular, great beers. Only downside was the wait to get a table for food . . .we eventually gave up and went elsewhere which was a shame

Great spot! Food is excellent, highly recommend

Such a gem! Excellent selection of ales & an outstanding porter! Hope to see more vegan dishes to be added to the menu soon. Even though the pub is located on the street where the time stood still, it shouldn't stop us from adding an ethical twist to those wonderful Thai dishes today.

Great pub. Friendly staff, good selection of real ales. And a fantastic Thai restaurant in the back.

It was a group meal, lots of beer and food, all delicious!

Good beer choices and great food at a reasonable price.

Ideal para tomar una cerveza con amigos. En una zona tranquila cerca de Waterloo. Me ha encantado ya que es un bar tradicional.

I really like this pub. However, for the past four weeks, I've been trying to book one of the private hire rooms upstairs. I've called and been down there a few times; they say they only take bookings by email. I've sent a few emails over the weeks, and have had no reply. Apparently they're having management problems. I hope they get sorted soon.

I tend to go to this pub at less busy times when it's quite. In the afternoon in the week. Or before lunch at the weekend. At these times it's less busy. The staff are very helpful. The Thai food is very tasty. I've eaten there on 4 occasions recently and have never been disappointed. A good selection of beer. I was impressed by the Small Beer at 2.5% it has a good flavour and body. Other beers, wines and spirits are available. It's a proper pub with a bit of atmosphere 👍

First place I went too on my first trip out of the U.S., literally got off a train and ended up here. Spent alot of time here then, and since. One of my first stops when I get into London. Great brews, excellent staff!

Fantastic pub,great staff,reputation for great food and a well kept cellar offering a wide variety of real ale

This pub is interestingly located in a neighbourhood off of Waterloo. It's really small and a bit awkwardly laid out. My party kept on getting knocked by the door where our table was.

First visit to this great pub retaining many original features including the public and private bar (both public obvs). A great selection of beers. We also ate in the Thai restaurant out back which was very busy for obvious reasons; it was superb! I wish this was on my doorstep.

Nice boozer. Interesting beer and the Thai food looked really good
