21 royal-named pubs in London to visit for the King’s coronation

His majesty’s upcoming coronation is set to mark an additional bank holiday in May, and what better way to celebrate the festivities than at a royal-named pub? We’ve compiled a list of 21 spots city dwellers can check out.

King Charles III’s coronation will take place on Saturday, May 6, with the following Monday set to be a bank holiday. This means there will be a total of three bank holidays in May.

The capital will host the coronation, as the ceremony will take place at Westminster Abbey. While the city prepares to welcome those from across the country to join in on the celebrations, others may choose to honour the coronation in London by raising a glass at a pub.

London is home to many royal-named pubs, meaning both locals and visitors of the city are spoilt for choice over the coronation period. From venues named after his majesty’s former Prince Of Wales title to other King-themed names, the capital has plenty to choose from.

We break down some of the royal-themed spots in the city that Londoners can head to over the coronation period.

Prince Of Wales 

In honour of his majesty’s former title of Prince Of Wales, why not head to a pub that goes by the moniker? Before he ascended to the throne, King Charles III served under the title for almost 60 years.

Therefore it’s probably no surprise to hear that during that period, a number of pubs up and down the country were named after the royal figure. The capital has several dotted around in central as well as spots further out.

Here’s a list of 11 in the city:

• Prince Of Wales Barnet - 2 Church Hill Rd, London, Barnet EN4 8TB
• Prince of Wales - 53 Highgate High St, London N6 5JX
• Prince of Wales - 11A Cambridge Gdns, North Maida Vale, London NW6 5AE
• Prince of Wales - 2 Cleveland Terrace, London W2 6LH
• Prince of Wales - 8 Kensington Church St, London W8 4EP
• Prince of Wales - 138 Upper Richmond Rd, London SW15 2SP
• Prince of Wales - 2 Hartfield Rd, London SW19 3TA
• Prince of Wales - 98 Morden Rd, London SW19 3BP
• Prince of Wales - 169 Lyham Rd, Brixton Hill, London SW2 5PY
• The Prince of Wales - 51 St George’s Rd, London SE1 6ER
• Prince of Wales - 150 Drury Ln, London WC2B 5TD

King’s Arms 

To celebrate the start of his majesty’s reign, Londoners could also head to a King’s Arms pub. With its name said to represent royal families and their towns, cities and historic guilds, the King’s Arms may be just the right spot to head to over the coronation weekend.

The pub name features on the top most popular pub names in the UK, and as you can imagine, the capital is home to a fair few of them.

Here’s a list of eight in the city:

• King’s Arms - 68 Great Titchfield St., London W1W 7QJ
• The King’s Arms Wandsworth - 94-96 Wandsworth High St, London SW18 4LB
• The King’s Arms - 98 Kennington Ln, London SE11 4XD
• The Kings Arms - 25 Roupell St, London SE1 8TB
• The King’s Arms - 65 Newcomen St, London SE1 1YT
• The King’s Arms - 251 Tooley St, London SE1 2NZ
• King’s Arms -27 Wormwood St, London EC2M 1RP
• The King’s Arms - 11A Buckfast St, Bethnal Green, London E2 6HJ

King Charles I 

His majesty is the third king Charles to take to the throne. However, this pub is named after the first. King Charles I became the monarch of England in 1625, but his reign ended in 1649 amid his execution.

In honour of the next royal era with a King Charles on the throne, the pub could be a good spot to raise a glass for the coronation.

Address: 55-57 Northdown St, London N1 9DP

Dog & Bull 

This spot may not have a royal name, but it does have regal history. King Charles III famously pulled a pint in the Croydon pub back in 1994.

The Dog & Bull Twitter account looked back on his majesty’s visit last year while sharing a throwback snap of him pouring a pint at the venue.

Address: 24-25 Surrey Street, Croydon, CR0 IRG
