The St Johns Hotel

The St John's Hotel is a public house located on Queens Road in Kingston upon Hull. Built in 1865, it was internally remodeled in 1904, with some minor alterations in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick and features Welsh slate hipped roofs along with five brick chimney stacks. It is two stories high and has bracketed timber eaves.

The main south front has an off-centre doorway, flanked on the right by two 20th-century casement windows with painted stucco lintels. To the left of the doorway, the pub façade includes single Corinthian pilasters on either side, supporting a deep fascia board and framing a canted corner doorway. There are two broad three-light pub windows to the left of the door. Above these, five large plain sash windows are set into the façade, all with painted brick lintels.

The Maple Street front features three irregularly spaced windows. The ground floor includes a large 'smoke-room' window on the left with a painted stucco lintel featuring a keystone, and to the right, it mirrors the pub façade seen on the south side. Above this, there are three large, widely spaced plain sash windows.

Inside, the public house retains much of its original layout and many fixtures and fittings from its Edwardian remodeling. The main public bar features a fine bar and well-preserved shelving behind it. The rear room, formerly known as the 'smoke-room', still has its original upholstered bench seating and moulded plaster coving. Notably, the poet Philip Larkin, who lived nearby in Pearson Park, was a regular visitor to this establishment.
