The Duke of Buckingham

Walk into the Duke and you'll immediately get why this spot on Buckingham Road has built such loyal support. It's the kind of pub that feels lived-in without being rough around the edges—where the regulars know the bar staff by name and newcomers get treated like they belong anyway. You're getting proper beer here, likely some interesting cask ales, and the sort of no-nonsense hospitality that's increasingly rare in Kingston. The ratings speak for themselves: locals genuinely rate this place, which tells you everything you need to know about what happens behind those doors.
