Description

The King's Arms Public House, located at 65 Newcomen Street, is a public house built around 1890. It is constructed of brick with stucco cement dressings and stands three storeys tall. All openings are flat-arched. The building features an early 18th-century coat of arms, possibly dating back to 1728, which was originally attached to a gateway spanning the old London Bridge and is likely made of stone. The current inscription referencing George III is believed to be an alteration from 1760. Additionally, there are later stone panels added to the top inscribed 'Kings Arms 1890' and to the bottom inscribed 'King Street'. The interior has not been inspected.
