    About three or four years ago I spent six weeks in Walton-on-Thames and have been trying to acquire…read morea work visa so I could move there from Los Angeles. Not much of a demand for comedy writers/improv comics over there. I attended graduate school (MFA in Creative Writing) at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada and I experienced some anti-American sentiment there. Consequently, I expected the same in the UK. Never saw it. Quite to the contrary, I've never been treated so well. The British treated me better than my own family, which might not be saying much. One day while my British girlfriend (We've since split up) was at work I walked over the Old Manor Pub in Walton-on-Thames during the lunch hour. I expected either anti-American sentiment or at the very least, a cold shoulder. Again the locals and I had a great time drinking your superior British beer and exchanging anecdotes. I've never had so much fun with my clothes on! I would love to email the Old Manor Pub but can't find an email address anywhere. Does anyone know how I can email them? This is a pub you definitely want to spend time in. If only that British lady hadn't dumped me I would be spending my weekends there today instead of Hollywood. I love the UK. It's the closest I'll ever get to Heaven. Sincerely, Tom Neuhoff World Humour Hollywood, California

    Its a shame that this pub is not more popular. It can sometimes be pretty quiet in the evenings…read more The location is not very favourable - it is on Hampton Court Road, where there is only a limited number of spaces to park. However, if you do manage to find a space, or if you are coming by bus or train (Hampton Court station is less than a 10 minute walk away), this is a lovely historical old pub to warm yourself up in. It backs on to the gardens of Hampton Court Palace, and while not as old as the Palace, the building is thought to date back to 1658. If you come here, look out for a tiny doorway in the main room of the pub. It is so low that you have to crouch - it is about 5 foot high. It was built when men were a lot shorter than they are today. The main part of the pub is very inviting; dark wood and cosy chairs, many of them facing a huge open fireplace. I have not been overwhelmed by the food, truth be told. It is traditional pub fare- pies, steaks, pastas and a few gourmet burgers. They do have a wide selection of Sunday Roasts here, these are definitely worth making a visit for. This building also houses Hampton Court Hotel, which has 9 bedrooms.

    Sometimes you just want to get out of the city. Away from the crazy rush, all the people and see…read moresome 'countryside'. Okay we didn't go far, in fact I think we may have still been in London. And when you're away for the day, you need a country pub.. with a fireplace. The King's Arms, handily located next to Hampton Court, is the perfect place to while away an afternoon. Great selection of crazily named lagers.. Badger? Super friendly bar staff and locals. Amazing looking roasts and really good chips. Best part of this place is the relaxed, welcoming vibe. If this was in Angel it would be my Sunday local.. but if it was in London proper it probably wouldn't be as cool.
