Historic pub in the heart of Tunbridge Wells
Nestled in the heart of Tunbridge Wells, the Sussex Arms boasts a rich history dating back to the early 17th century. Originally built to serve the hardworking coachmen and servants of the gentry, the pub was deliberately tucked away from view.
Fast forward a few centuries, and The Sussex Arms has evolved into a renowned haunt, steeped in its own unique lore and home to a lively and welcoming community.
