Robin Hood Hotel (Kingston-upon-Thames).

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-01-13. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-08-21.

The Robin Hood Hotel a.k.a. the Robin Hood Inn was located on the corner of Robin Hood Lane and Kingston Vale (A308). Data on publicans from trade directories, census records etc. for the years 1855-1918 can be found at UK Pub History. The earliest map to include the hotel is perhaps a 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1874 (see Maps section below).Template:PnItemQry
