About The Masons Arms

The Masons Arms is a well-loved community pub situated on Walpole Road in Teddington, serving locals and visitors seven days a week from midday. Known for its carefully kept real ales, charcoal spit-roasted food and walls lined with brewing memorabilia and vintage advertising, it offers a genuinely convivial atmosphere that feels rooted in the neighbourhood. Dogs are welcome, staff are known for their friendliness, and the pub has built a strong reputation — reflected in a 4.7 Google rating from over 340 visitors — as one of the better locals in this part of south-west London.

Local area

Teddington has long been the kind of place where a proper local pub matters. With Bushy Park a short stroll away and Teddington Lock marking the tidal reach of the Thames nearby, residents tend to value places that reward lingering. The Masons Arms on Walpole Road sits comfortably within that tradition — a pub with genuine character in a neighbourhood that prizes authenticity. In a borough as varied as Richmond upon Thames, a well-run community local with good ale and an honest atmosphere is both rarer and more cherished than it might appear.

Why choose The Masons Arms

For residents who value a pub that feels earned rather than engineered, The Masons Arms makes a compelling case. The real ales are well kept and fairly priced, the food offering — centred on charcoal spit-roasting — goes beyond standard pub fare, and the décor of brewing memorabilia gives the place genuine character rather than manufactured cosiness. It opens daily from noon and stays open until 11.30 on Fridays and Saturdays, making it equally suited to a quiet midweek pint or a longer weekend evening. Dogs are welcome, and the atmosphere is consistently described as warm and sociable.
