The still existing Robin Hood at 2 Birken Road, Tunbridge Wells, opened in 1971.

The pub is situated in a neighbourhood of Tunbridge Wells known as Sherwood, which inspired the names of several streets, businesses and facilities there. The pub is situated on the northwest corner of Birken and Sandhurst roads in a house built in 1912 and used as a private home until it was converted into the Robin Hood in 1971. The pub has changed owners and publicans several times over the years. In 1997 it was owned by Whitbread Medway Inns, in 2007 by Enterprise Inc PLC. Major alterations and refurbishmenst were undertaken and the premises were considerably enlarged in 2007. The pub closed in September 2012 but was purchased by Green King and reopened on 20 January 2013 as "'Robin Hood' Hungry Horse". It was renovated again in October 2018.[1] Template:PlaceNamesItemQuery
