picture of Old Kings Head
Borough High Street abounds in famous watering holes, but this is one of the area's lesser known pubs. It may not have as historic a setting as some of its neighbours, but it makes up for it with its genial staff, a good range of beers and a decent atmosphere. The one-room bar feel can give off a slightly claustrophobic atmosphere, but escape comes in the form of the upstairs room. If, however, what you're looking for in a pub near London Bridge is a traditional, straightforward boozer, then this one is certainly worth a look.
