Kings Arms, Houghton Regis

Built of brick in the 1930s by Benskins Watford Brewery (Architects Franklin & Briars) with four rooms and an off sales it still retains three separate rooms with some old fittings. The main bar on the right was originally the Saloon and separate Smoke Room both with their own bar counters and was combined in the 1980s and new but good bar fittings added; the original Saloon fireplace remains but painted claret and blocked-up and the fixed seating on the right might be inter-war. The ladies toilet on the left of the main bar replaced the off sales.

The middle small Public bar has a parquet floor and an original fireplace painted claret and blocked-up. It retains the original bar counter but in 2012 a large cabinet was placed in front of it in order to make the room more of a snug leaving two tiny parts of the counter exposed. The bar back might be the 1930s one with much modernisation and fixed seating looks inter-war. The Meals room on the far left has a parquet floor and a small curved bar counter that is also possibly the 1930s one; the room houses a pool table. The original plan shows a tea gardens and a shed for cycles.
