Fantastic service and a great atmosphere! We went on a Thursday evening and it was hopping! Be prepared - it can be noisy, but I loved that atmosphere. They got us right in for a table for two and the food was amazing! Probably one of my favorite meals I've had since being in London. We ordered the pork belly bites as an appetizer and they were excellent! Very different than anything I'd had before. They had a nice kick to them. The fish and chips were so delicious. It was seasoned well and fresh. My husband got the burger and said it was one of the best burgers he'd had. 

Highly recommend!

Solid place to grab a pint and some food!

We stopped here a couple of times during a recent trip to London seeing as it was down the block from our hotel. Outdoor and indoor seating. Lovely beer and cider list, along with yummy food. I decided to go with bangers and mash because when I Rome...I mean....London.

Food was delicious. Service is quick and friendly. Great spot for people watching.

This was not what I was expecting but ended up being awesome anyway.  I didn't realize that there were multiple places called Kings Arms but I had it on my list and there it was right near my hotel so I went.  I thought it would be a traditional pub but that it was not.  It was very over the top, eccentric, and weird in the best way.  We hung out and had drinks and enjoyed it very much.

Very nice.  Great service and good selection of beers, roast and starters.   Really enjoyed the quick stop

This has been our second experience eating here in 3 days. We had fish and chips and those were equally delicious.  I am telling you the ease of eating and the friendly staff and atmosphere is a go to place when coming to London.  Every thing about this place is fun and the food is amazing.

came to try my first ever sunday roast, and was quite disappointed. to be honest it was quite predictable since I'm not a meat girl, but the carrots were the only thing I enjoyed on the plate. the yorkshire pudding, albeit ginormous, tasted burnt, and the beef was tough. the halloumi bites were almost great but the honey glaze was too sweet. the sticky toffee pudding was good but a little too sweet paired with the ice cream.

Popped in on a rainy day in London. Wonderful service and amazingly good food. Burger was immense and my son raves about it. Sausage and Mash was a bit as well with delicious potatoes and onion gravy. Tuesday special was baby back ribs and they were solid. That's coming from a Texan. Good beer, cider and coffees. Take a break from the rain, stop in and enjoy the atmosphere. You won't be sorry.

This pub is well worth a stop. Great food, wonderful atmosphere, far enough out of the way to avoid being touristy, but close enough to be convenient.
While we were there a number of people were playing games, talking, eating, and generally enjoying each other's company. Staff were friendly, helpful, and relatable.
It was honestly my best pub experience. If I lived in London I'd be a regular.

On the food, too many pub chefs hide their insecurities behind salt. Here the flavors were mixed and wonderful but not overwhelming. 
Tip: The ribs are fantastic.

The King's Arms of Tooley Street is located only a short walk from London Bridge tube station but rests just out of reach of the busier tourist spots of this area.  The very definition of cosy, this pub has bags of character with lots of dark wood, comfy seating and quirky knick-knacks.  The outdoor seating makes it a great spot for a summers day.

Due to its location this pub is predominantly frequented by locals which adds to the character and creates a warm and familiar vibe.  The staff are very friendly and attnetive engaging you in conersation whenever possible.

The food here is tailored to the tradtional quality of the venue serving up staple English favourites.  Sadly the prices are a little steep for what is on offer and there are other places wher you will be able to get more for your money.

In terms of drinks they stock a decent selection of wines, ciders and lager though these too err on the pricey side.

A really nice little venue spoilt only by the rather over-priced offerings.

The Kings Arms is a great little pub and its decor is definitely what makes it so special. With ruby red sofas, rustic looking tables and chairs and each table decorated by candles, it is a cosy place to go on a winter night.

The price of alcohol is relatively average for a London pub and the food is also great with a selection of typically English dished such as bangers and mash. I would recommend going on a Monday night as they have a quiz night which is always fun with a good cash prize! 

On a Friday and Saturday night there is also regular live music and the staff also hold seasonal themes events. A great place to go for a date perhaps.
