Kingswood Arms, Kingswood

This huge mock-Tudor pile was built around 1900 as the Station Hotel to serve the adjacent Kingswood Station on the Tattenham Corner branch. By the mid-60s it had become the Pigeon Pair and assumed its present title in the 1980s. Over the years, exposed brick has given way to painted render, whilst the amount of first floor black and white facing has grown. Colourful flower baskets adorn the front and there is a landscaped, terraced garden at the back. To the front of the interior is the main wood-beamed drinking bar. A separate area known as the Study is available for hire, whilst to the right is a very large dining room. The Kingswood Arms Golfing Society gathers here and its well stocked trophy cabinet and winners' board can be found in the bar. The pub was bought by Fullers in 2011 although it was not branded as such for some years. There was a major refurbishment in 2020 with new complete stylish interior refit. There is a rear extension which replaces the conservatory and this features wood panelling made out of recycled scrap wood. The pub offers a restaurant menu.
