History

The Kings Head is situated in the idyllic Church Square in Old Shepperton. Dating back to the 15th century, it is steeped in history. It was originally a coaching inn with the top bar being stables.

It has been reported that Admiral Nelson courted Lady Hamilton at The Kings Head. He came to Shepperton to visit his brother, a vicar at nearby Laleham village.

The Pub has had many famous visitors, thanks to the nearby Shepperton studios.

Visitors included Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor (right), who were regulars. The walls are now adorned with photos of all its famous visitors.

There have been many ghost stories over the years, most popular is the headless monk who was beheaded by his brethren for breaking his vows of celibacy. See Ghost Pubs
