The London Inn is a traditional village pub in Charlton Kings, positioned right at the edge of the Cotswolds and conveniently close to Cheltenham.
This is where you'll find locals settling in for a regular evening or catching up over lunch, and the welcome you'll receive as a visitor is every bit as genuine. The whole setup feels straightforward and comfortable—no pretence, just good company and a relaxed atmosphere. The local ales are genuinely worth ordering, and the food menu gives you plenty of reason to linger if you're hungry.
Charlton Kings itself provides breathing room away from Cheltenham's busier centre. If you're staying in Cheltenham and want to escape into quieter surroundings, it's just a short journey out. Alternatively, if you're venturing further into the Cotswolds, stopping here lets you experience actual village life rather than spaces designed primarily for passing tourists. You get a real glimpse of how the community actually functions day to day, which is harder to find in larger towns. Whether you're taking a break during a longer trip or specifically seeking out authentic local pubs, you'll find this is a reliable, unpretentious choice that delivers exactly what it promises.
