King's Head, Historical pub in Merton, England
The King's Head stands as a brick building with multiple bars on Merton High Street, constructed in 1933 following earlier structures.
Originally established in the 16th century as a post house, the King's Head served as a central point for daily post services to Epsom from 1684.
The establishment featured five distinct bar areas where local residents gathered for social activities and community meetings through the 20th century.
The former pub building now functions as the headquarters of London General Buses while maintaining its original external architectural features.
The property's signboard displayed Charles II's head, marking the restoration of monarchy and establishing its connection to British royal history.
