History of 8 Kings road
8 Kings Road is a Grade II listed building built in the 18th Century. We are located in the Southsea area of Portsmouth, home of The Royal Navy and the world famous historic ships including HMS Victory, HMS Warrior and The Mary Rose.
The building has hosted a number of different businesses over the years, most recently a bank, however it was bought in 2006 and whilst carefully maintaining the historical features it has been restored, refurbished and renamed as one of Portsmouth's finest restaurants - 8 Kings Road.
In its new form a warm and relaxed environment has been created where the emphasis is on good quality food and fantastic entertainment.
