 How to Spend the Perfect Weekend in Egham, Surrey When the hustle of the working week leaves you yearning for a change of scene, there’s something deliciously restorative about a weekend escape. Tucked away in the historic heart of Surrey, Egham is one of those rare places where charm, culture and countryside converge. Whether you're planning a romantic break, a solo reset or a cheeky catch-up with old friends, weekend getaways in Egham, Surrey promise a little bit of everything – and it all starts at The Kings Arms. Friday Evening: Arrive, Unwind, Sip Something Local Start your weekend the right way with a warm welcome at The Kings Arms, Egham’s cosiest pub with rooms. Effortlessly combining contemporary comfort with traditional character, our lovingly restored coaching inn makes the perfect base for your stay. Check into one of our beautifully designed bedrooms, each thoughtfully kitted out with indulgent bedding, modern en-suites, and those thoughtful little touches that make all the difference.  Once you’ve freshened up, pop downstairs to the bar for a well-earned tipple. Choose from our expertly curated wine list, a rotating selection of local ales, or perhaps one of our seasonal cocktails. For dinner, think comforting classics made with locally sourced ingredients – our signature steak or a vibrant veggie risotto are always favourites. And if you’ve still got room, our sticky toffee pudding is borderline legendary. Saturday: Explore, Indulge and Embrace the Slow Life After a restful night’s sleep, start your Saturday with a proper breakfast – full English, avocado toast or maybe just a strong cup of locally roasted coffee and a flaky pastry. From here, Egham is your oyster. History lovers will want to make a beeline for Runnymede, just a stone’s throw from our doorstep. This peaceful riverside meadow is where King John sealed the Magna Carta in 1215 – and you can still visit the memorials nestled amongst centuries-old trees. A gentle walk here, with views over the Thames and swans gliding past, is one of the area’s simplest pleasures. If you're more inclined towards a spot of retail therapy, nearby Windsor is just 15 minutes away by car. Amble through cobbled lanes, explore boutique shops, or simply admire the grandeur of Windsor Castle. Then head back to The Kings Arms to rest your feet and recount your discoveries over a lazy afternoon drink. Saturday evenings are best spent exactly as they should be – lingering over dinner and savouring the moment. Our seasonal menu shines at supper, with British classics given a modern twist. Whether you’re after a hearty Sunday roast or small plates to share over a bottle of red, you’ll find something to suit your taste.  Sunday: One Last Stroll (And Another Coffee)
As the weekend winds down, take a last meander around Virginia Water Lake, just a short drive away. The serene waters, ancient woodlands and ornamental waterfalls make for the perfect end to your stay – especially if you follow it with a pastry from a local bakery or a late brunch back at ours. Check-out might mark the end of your trip, but we’ll make sure you leave feeling recharged and just a little reluctant to go. Whether it’s a romantic weekend, a solo recharge or a catch-up with mates, weekend getaways in Egham, Surrey tick every box. And at The Kings Arms, we’re ready with good food, great drinks and that home-from-home feeling you’ll want to return to again and again.
