Good Beer Guide pub near Waterloo Station.
Divided into several smaller bars, interlinked by little passageways. Serves a decent selection of Thai food until 10.30pm. The mixed starter platter is worth getting just for the fishcakes alone.
The Beer in the Evening comments suggest that there's free internet access, but we've not checked this yet.
Getting here
Finding your way out of Waterloo Station can be confusing, so here are directions from Bob and Nick: Leave Waterloo station by the Jubilee Line Ticket Hall exit[0], turning left onto Waterloo Road. Walk up Waterloo Road for about 100 metres - you will pass under two bridges one atop the other (a grey plastic footbridge above a red iron ex-railway bridge), and then a railway bridge that crosses on the diagonal. Under this bridge there is a puffin crossing - cross and turn right onto Exton Street. Walk along Exton street (100 metres), which does a right-left stagger and becomes Roupell Street. The King's Arms is about 100 metres, on the right.
[0] If you're not familiar with Waterloo, the Jubilee Line Ticket Hall is at the south east end of the station, the opposite end from the Eurostar terminal, one level below the main line platforms. The easiest way to get there is to go onto the main concourse, walk along until you are opposite platform 4, and then turn your back to the trains. The escalator down to the ticket hall (and street level) is just to the right of blue painted wooden hoardings.
