A great old school boozer with excellent service and sky sports. This is always our starting place for a day on the beer.

I like the Kings Head, squeezed down a narrow side street off Borough High Street. It’s no frills, slightly worn bar gives an excellent, lived-in feel. Usually a good atmosphere with a mixture of earthy locals, seasoned drinkers and tourists (although these usually stick to the cobbled street outside.) Six hand pumps which last Thursday night included Woodforde’s Wherry, London Pride, St Austells Tribute and CW Bombadier.
We made this the last stop on our crawl as, as well as good ales there are three TV’s for the sport, two smaller ones and as previously mentioned large plasma screen which is fuzzy at the best of times, even before you’ve had a few sherberts. And turned up earlier than planned after being told at the nearby Borough Market, that if we wanted to have a beer outside the pub we had to drink it out of Polyethylene or someother type of plastic crap…
Anway finished off in The Old Kings Head with a very nice couple of pints of Tribute and Wherry whilst watching our brave lads beat the Spaniards in the European ‘I was under 21 one once honest’ football championship.

Suitably bedecked in English flags yesterday which was nice to see. Lovely pint of Butcombe. Staff welcoming and friendly. Top notch.

Why have I never been here before? This is a brilliant pub - excellent ales and nice to see Pilsner Urquell on tap too. An unpretentious, old skool boozer that looks to have been refitted in the mid 70s. Charming and helpful bar staff and friendly, chatty punters. Great stuff.

This is a perfect pub. Well kept Harvey's bitter, big screen and great atmosphere. Best of all the bar staff are excellent - even when it's busy they can remember who should be served next - really polite and efficient.
