More than a pub — we’re a place with a past

Step behind the scenes at The King’s Head and discover the stories that have shaped one of the very oldest pubs of England – one of local, regional and national significance.

Our guided tours offer a warm, informal look at the history of the building, the people who’ve passed through it, and the role it continues to play.

What the tour includes

Led by George Jenkinson, long-standing Landlord, each tour explores:

– The history of The King’s Head and its place in Aylesbury life
– Stories from behind the bar and cellar
– Rooms and artefacts that guests don’t usually see
– Time for questions and conversation

Tours are relaxed, story-led and unscripted — no two are quite the same!

Safety Information

The King’s Head is an ancient public house, and the tour involves several steps and staircases (some being narrow and winding).

All visitors will need to wear flat, closed-toe shoes on tours. Some surfaces are uneven.

As this is a working pub, please make sure you are aware of your surroundings at all times.
