The Kings Arms Tooley Street is an independent, family run gastropub at 251 Tooley Street near London Bridge. Trading since 2005, it combines the familiarity of a local pub with a kitchen substantial enough for lunch or dinner.
The seasonal menu is grounded in British pub cooking. Fish and chips, cottage pie and burgers sit alongside changing dishes, giving regulars dependable favourites while allowing the kitchen to respond to the time of year.
Sharing platters make the pub useful for groups, and Sunday service provides another reason to visit beyond weekday drinks. The food is presented without unnecessary formality, matching the relaxed atmosphere of a neighbourhood pub close to one of London’s busiest stations.
Beer, wine, spirits and soft drinks complete the gastropub offering. Whether guests arrive for a complete meal, a shared plate or an after work drink, the balance of independent character and familiar cooking is central to The Kings Arms experience.

Sunday Roasts
A staple tradition at our pub, the Sunday roast is what we’re known for. Book a table, invite all of your friends, and go home for a nap after. *Sunday roast menus are subject to weekly change. Please call ahead for current offerings.
Lamb Shank
Slow roasted for eight hours, our famous lamb shank falls right off the bone. Seasoned to perfection and made with love.
Sirloin Beef
An all time classic. Beef, gravy, and a tender bite. Not quite the roast your mother delivers, but we try and get pretty close.
Quarter Chicken
The moistest chicken you can find on Tooley Street. Salted, peppered, and smoking hot out of the oven.
Spinach & Feta Pie
Crispy pastry, flavourful and delicious filling. Paired with a vegetarian friendly gravy, veggie friends, don’t fret. We’ve got you covered.
