King's Arms Holywell St

The King’s Arms stands as one of Oxford’s most historic pubs and has been welcoming visitors for centuries. Located in the heart of the city, it is widely recognised as Oxford’s oldest pub and retains the classic atmosphere that makes traditional British pubs so appealing. Inside, the focus remains firmly on good cask ales, hearty food and a warm, sociable environment that suits both locals and visitors exploring the university city.

For dog owners moving between colleges, museums and the bustling High Street, it provides a wonderfully authentic place to pause. The combination of history, character and proper pub hospitality makes it one of Oxford’s most memorable stops.
