Kings Arms Oxford The iconic Kings Arms, the oldest pub in Oxford. Expect fine cask ale, hearty food & warm welcome.
(1256)

The famous Kings Arms is the oldest pub in Oxford, built in 1607 and still standing in its original position. We're quite possibly also the brainiest pub in Oxford too, known for having the highest IQ per square foot of anywhere in the world! Loved by Oxford scholars and tourists alike, renown for fine cask ales, hearty homemade food and our resident ghost.
