King's Head & Bell, Abingdon (Kings Head & Bell)

Real ale discount scheme

In existence before 1554 as the Bell and for some time a coaching inn in the 19th century it claimed to have stabling for nearly 100 horses and supplied the volunteer fire brigade. Although much renovated and restored - with alterations and refurbishment carried out in summer 2019 by new management - the building still has historic traces. A number of rooms include two meeting rooms upstairs and a large conservatory for diners. The old courtyard is still the nicest beer garden in the town centre.

Historic Interest

Historic Coaching Inn. Listed Grade II. Mainly C18 with possibly some C17 remaining. Local tradition says Charles I used it as an operations centre during the civil war but no direct evidence.
