The Manor Arms was situated at 62 Railway Side. Tucked away down a narrow passage in Barnes called Railway Side, The Manor Arms was a hidden gem that many would easily miss. With no road access, beer deliveries were wheeled down the alley. In 2011, it was renamed The Idle Hour, but this new identity lasted just over four years before the pub closed for good in February 2016. Shortly after, plans were approved to convert the building into a house and two flats. While the transformation is complete, the pub’s green-tiled frontage and Manor Arms signage remain.
