Property details
The Kingsland Tavern is one of Southampton's older pubs, having been a pub since the 1820s. The pub occupies a good-sized corner plot, looking out over both St Mary Street and Kingsland Square. Having the fortune of being located in a densely populated area of Southampton, the Kingsland is just a five-minute walk from the city centre and 10 minutes from St Marys Stadium, home of Southampton FC. It is surrounded by retail outlets on St Mary Street and is situated opposite the Kingsland housing estate, near Palmerston Park.
The pub is a prominent, two-storey property with its frontage and entrance being on St Marys Street and the side elevation being on Kingsland Square. The trade area is dominated by a large horseshoe-shaped bar servery which you are presented with upon entry. To the left of the bar is the access to the marquee and also low-level loose seating and a darts area. To the right of the bar, you will find fixed seating along the front window, and further along is the popular pool table. There are several flat-screen TVs and games machines throughout.
Externally, there is a large marquee adjoining the left-hand side pub, which is situated on the square itself and is accessed through the side door of the trade area. This acts as an advantageous overspill area, particularly on football match days, and also provides a covered smoking area for the customers.
The private accommodation consists of four bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom and a kitchen.

Experienced Operator
Trading style
The offer at the Kingsland is wet-led, with a focus on live sports. With the pub being home fans' favourite for Southampton FC followers, every match day will see a large influx of supporters enjoying themselves before and after the match. Music and entertainment are also offered at weekends and after most home games at St Marys. There is an opportunity to introduce a back bar snack offer – pies, pasties, hot dogs, etc, to complement the live sports and also the possible opportunity to become part of various darts and pool leagues by having your teams competing.
The landlords are seeking a licensee who will drive the wet sales and introduce a back bar food offer. Ideally, an ambition to improve the retail offer and general standards as well as the customer service and communications is highly desirable at this site. We require an experienced, community-focused operator who is ideally from the local area, who will engage with the locals, introduce sports teams to the pub, and ensure the Kingsland Tavern becomes the community hub of St Marys.
