Pubs To Lease In Southampton – Run The Kingsland Tavern
The Kingsland Tavern is one of Southampton’s older pubs, having been a pub since the 1820’s. The pub occupies a good sized corner plot, looking out over both St Marys 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 under 10 minutes from St Marys Stadium, home of Southampton FC. It is surrounded by retail outlets on St Marys Street and is situated opposite the Kingsland housing estate, near to Palmerston Park.
Pub Layout
The pub is a prominent, two storey property with it’s frontage and entrance being on St Marys Street and the side elevation being on Kingsland Square. Externally, there is a large marquee adjoining the left hand side pub, which is actually sited 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 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.

On the first floor is the private accommodation consisting of four bedrooms, a living room, bathroom and kitchen.

Admiral are seeking a passionate and experienced licensee who can harness the energy of live sport, particularly football, to drive wet sales and maximise the match day atmosphere. With Southampton FC on the doorstep, this site needs a licensee who can build on its reputation as a home fans’ favourite, introducing a simple back-bar food offer to keep supporters fuelled before and after the game. We’re seeking someone who is community-focused, ideally with local knowledge, who will embrace the passion of the fan base, strengthen ties with the community, and establish darts, pool, and other sports teams to cement the Kingsland Tavern as the go-to sports hub of St Mary’s. A drive to enhance the drinks range, retail standards, and customer service is essential, ensuring the pub delivers the very best match day and weekend experience. We are eager to invest in the right licensee and support them in growing the pub’s success.
