This pub is fabulous. I love it here. It’s packed on a Friday, but you can somehow still find a corner to sneak into. You can understand why it’s so busy as well.

The Thai food is fantastic here. Though when you’re told that something on the menu is hot, pay attention. It really is. Great portions for about £7. Worth every penny.

The pub itself is pretty nice. Good enough ale to keep the old fashioned of your group happy. But they also serve really great red wine as well which I’ll be trying again next time I’m in here.

It’s tucked away in Waterloo and it’s not the easiest place to find. But when you do it’s like a little Dickensian picture postcard. It’s on one of the only streets not the bombed in the war so it’s gorgeous. That’s why Dr Who is filmed here lots. It’s a shame we’ve never been here when David Tennant has popped in for a swift half, but that’s just another reason to come back.

I rate this a 3 star only because I don't think it had done anything extraordinary to set itself apart.

The service has been fine when grabbing a pint. I'm not sure I understand the craze for thai food at London Pubs. As a foreigner, I wouldn't mind a little nostalgia of London Pub Food.

This pub does has quite a large back room which works very nice for a group. If you visit during the daytime you will enjoy the light washing through the skylight ceiling (conservatory). It is a welcome surprise the the many dark settings you will find within London Pubs.

As mentioned the menu is mainly Thai food with a few typical pub starters. The green curry was quite good.

This pub is a godsend for homesick Irishmen, THEY STOCK TAYTO! For the poor old english among you, this is the King of Crisps, forget Walkers, Tayto are the Dogs... you know what I mean. That is one reason why you should come to the Kings Arms Waterloo, and frankly I don't see why you should need any more. But it does have it's other plus points.

Firstly the massive conservatory out the back, where they serve excellent Thai food, not what I was expecting at first viewing, it's more than the traditional english pub it looks from the outside. It's also a good vibrant pub, always buzzing, always doing a good trade, it's a perfect place for an afternoon pint and a good old laugh and a chinwag, over a pint and a bag of tayto.

Hidden away behind the noise of Waterloo is a secret pub. Ok, it;s not that secret, as it is popular and almost always busy, but it doesn't feel like your typical railway pub.

The Kings Arms is on the old Victorian-looking Roupell St, (famed for its use in Doctor Who and many period films), and is a small traditional looking pub. One of its greatest features is its inconspicuous look, as in the back they have a huge conservatory filled with large wooden tables where you can order Thai food, or snuggle up around the fireplace.

The front of the pub is more conservative, but very cosy, with a round bar and 2 sections. The staff are very pleasant and helpful, and for a pub this busy at 5pm, they are very quick to serve people.

This pub should also be noted for its awesome range of snacks including Tayter crisps, which I'm reliably informed are hard to come by outside of Ireland; and Scampi Fries, which are currently experiencing a resurge in popularity.
