Are there any good pubs in New Malden?

Being Londoners ourselves, at Cozee, we hold a strong bond with our regular visits to the local pub every week. Why should your experience be any different in your new home? That’s why we’ve thoroughly tested and reviewed all the pubs in New Malden. While we didn’t get the chance to personally visit each one, we certainly wish we could have. Here’s the curated list of the finest pubs in New Malden.

Pub name NameAddressDescription
Earl Beatty365, West Barnes Lane
Motspur Park
KT3 6JF
Large thirties pub, opposite Motspur Park station, named after Admiral of the Fleet The Earl Beatty, who was a WWI commander, and subsequently First Sea Lord.
There are three drinking areas with a central connecting bar, plus a small side room. The front area (on the corner) was the former public bar; this leads on to a larger lounge area with a large TV above the fireplace; and then the end lounge where the five handpumps are sited.
A Dec 2014 refurbishment has led to the removal of the carpet to be replaced by bare-boarding and some flagstones; the dark wood being painted a light “gastro” grey; the loss of the dartboard and pool table (both since reinstated, but the original dartboard frame seems to have been lost); and the replacement of some of the traditional furnishings with tall tables accompanied by tall backless benches. The original oil painting of the Earl Beatty also seems to have been lost.
Tastefully refurbished over a six week closure late in 2022, it reopened with GK Rocking Rudolph and Yardbird alongside the regular IPA and Abbot cask offerings and a spacious enclosed patio and beer garden behind the pub extending between the road and the railway.
Bar Malden1-3 St George’s Square
New Malden
KT3 4HG
Large town centre bar. One L shaped bar with two seating areas, the upper one looking out onto the square and the lower one looking out to the High Street and the passing trains. The interior is quirky and based on a cinema theme with vibrant colours, and classic retro movie posters. TV screens usually show the news. Reasonable prices. Outside seating in the square and on the High Street.
Glasshouse14 Coombe Road
New Malden
KT3 4QF
Large fronted pub opposite the railway station, which is why it was called the Railway in the past. Inside there is one open area with an angled bar going back towards further seating at the rear. Caters for a more upmarket clientele. Quite modern, but in a smart traditional way, with a wood floor and varied styles of seating. A large mirror above the fireplace. Covered outside booths at rear. Live big band every five weeks. Beer range usually includes local beers.
Grafton Club36 Grafton Road
New Malden
KT3 3AA
Opened in 1931 as a Gentlemen’s Club and became a Snooker Club, exclusively for men only. It is now a “members club” with no discrimination. Guests may be admitted by members by their countersignature. The front part of the premises is a bar and the rear area has four snooker tables and can be separated by a removable acoustic screen. Live music & open mic evenings from time to time. It is located close to New Malden station, a commuter station to London, so street parking is a problem weekdays 6am to 7pm.
New Malden Sports ClubSomerset Close
New Malden
KT3 5RG
Tennis, Squash and Badminton club with gym also
Old Emanuel Rugby ClubBlagdons Sports Ground, Beverley Way
New Malden
KT3 4PU
Royal Oak90 Coombe Road
New Malden
KT3 4RD
Imposing corner pub dating from 1897, which catered for noblemen and gentry in early 1900’s. The building replaced an earlier, plainer, pub that had been trading from at least 1867. It still has two bars, separated by an open top wooden partition with a low through way. The smaller former public bar has a flagstone floor. The large lounge has a curved bar which leads through to the food bar. Adjoining is a large comfortable seating area, with a raised area by the front window. Several Benskins of Watford mirrors hint at former ownership. Note the etched Lounge bar windows with ‘public bar’ on two of them. At the rear is a large garden and there are upstairs function rooms for hire. The changing beers include local brews and there are also keg beers from the group’s own Battersea Brewery.
Watchman184 High Street
New Malden
KT3 4ES
Wetherspoons pub in former police station dating from the 1890s. The cask cellar is visible through a window in the passageway behind the bar. At least one guest beer is usually from a local brewery. There is a memorial garden at the front to a local policeman who died in the line of duty. It is called the Watchman because, being a former police station, it had an air raid siren on the roof during WWII. There was a member of the Royal Observer Corps up there with binoculars and when he saw bombers from Germany on their way he operated the siren. You can still see the iron railings on the pub roof where the siren was, but the siren itself was removed in the 1980s. Opens at 8am for food and non-alcoholic drinks. Has a real fire in the conservatory at the back. Accredited for beer quality during 2022 and Local CAMRA Pub of the Year in 2023.
WoodiesThetford Road
New Malden
KT3 5DX
A hidden away pub, not far from the A3 but actually looks out onto playing fields. Was originally a cricket pavilion, but now is more like an Aladdin’s cave inside. With a single bar and lots of sports programmes and oddments hanging from a beam, while the walls are covered in more programmes, sports and film photos and lots of other things. Home-cooked lunches, Sunday roasts plus typical menu. Veranda covered smoking area at the front.
