The name of this pub is a reminder of Kingston’s royal connections. Seven Saxon kings were crowned in Kingston or, as it was once known, King’s Tun, meaning royal farm or estate.

There's a very good choice of low-alcohol beers here - the Punk IPA 0.5% abv is delicious! I ordered a double cheeseburger and chips, which arrived very swiftly and was passably good. The condiments area was unclean, and occupied by dirty, sticky bottles of vinegar, mustard and chilli & garlic sauce. The gents' loo smells appalling. Table service was professional; the bar staff, rather less so... This place at least has the virtue of being inexpensive.
Overall experience of this Kingston spoons is amazing. Love the staff. Was served by Blagoy, whose service was flawless. Kept asking us how everything was, and really cheered one of my friends up. To this day, my friend is happy I brought her to this spoons. Had an interesting experience today. It felt petty. Ordered one corona and one zero alcohol beer. My friend had foolishly left his ID at home. We apologised and said to the waiter that he would dash home and grab it quickly. The manager, Georgia, in spite, confiscated the zero alcohol beer and refused to leave it on the table, even though the person without ID would no longer be present. To think, if my friend was to leave completely since he had no ID, would it be unreasonable of me to ask if I was able to have that drink back? Was this confiscation necessary? Are these the rules, or was it personal? We couldn't be sure. The attitude and the rudeness made a simple situation feel bitter and it's just sad. Perhaps she is under alot of stress? Perhaps she is going on a power trip? Either it felt petty. What a shame. Wish everyone else a good experience and other than this situation, I recommend this spoons 100%... maybe the best spoons in London. They even serve Linghams garlic chilli sauce - what spoons does that??!?
Wetherspoon Kingston offers a mixed experience for visitors. On the positive side, the pub boasts a spacious and welcoming atmosphere. The interior design is classic, with a nod to traditional British pubs, and it's well-maintained. The staff is generally friendly and attentive, ensuring prompt service. However, the dining experience can be hit or miss. The menu is extensive, offering a variety of pub classics, but the quality can vary. Some dishes are well-prepared, while others may fall short of expectations. Prices are reasonable, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious diners. The pub's beverage selection is a highlight, with an impressive array of beers, ales, and spirits. It's a great place to enjoy a pint with friends. One downside is the noise level, which can be quite high during peak hours, making conversation challenging. Additionally, the cleanliness of the facilities could be improved. In summary, Wetherspoon Kingston is a decent choice for affordable drinks and a relaxed atmosphere, but it may not always deliver consistently in terms of food quality and ambiance.
Lovely pub! Very large with a lot of seating. They have two floors and a lift for those who can't navigate the stairs. It is reasonably priced. They have a good selection of beer. The cider is delicious! It's clean. Friendly staff. Good location. The restrooms are clean, large and uncramped, unlike a lot of other pubs I have been to. They have restrooms on both floors so there is no need to navigate to a different level. Will definitely return here.
Overall this is not a bad Wetherspoons pub. Big place with plenty of seating. The food is basic but good value for money. The drinks are also an affordable price. Toilets were kept to a reasonable standard. One young male behind the bar needs a bit more training but generally speaking the bar staff were friendly and worked well.
