Wilton Arms

The Wilton Arms is a public house located at 71 Kinnerton Street, built between 1825 and 1826. The building is constructed of rendered brick with a roof that is concealed behind a parapet. It has a ground floor that features a timber pub frontage, mostly from the 20th century. The floor plan is two rooms deep and three bays wide, with three storeys in total. The front is symmetrically designed, with the upper floors showcasing twelve-light glazing bar sash windows framed by moulded architraves, except for the central second-floor window, which is blind and bears the inscription 'THE WILTON ARMS 1826'. A balcony on the first floor is supported by heavy timber brackets and features 20th-century ironwork. The pub frontage includes doors on either side of a small paned four-bay glazed front, along with a late 20th-century fascia and lamp. Inside, the pub retains some slender cast-iron columns and cornices, as well as an early or mid-19th century grate set in a late 20th-century surround. The Wilton Arms is noted for being an unusual and dated example of a surviving public house from the 1820s, as most pubs in London were either rebuilt or significantly altered in the 1890s.
