From 1901 to 1967, this building belonged to the Boots pharmacy chain, which acquired it from another chain known as Days.

On the facade, above the first-floor windows, numerous symbols related to pharmacy can be seen.

The name of the pub emphasizes its royal heritage, as 'King' refers to the bust of Edward VII located above the entrance to the adjacent archway.

This archway, officially named King Edward VII Gateway, was gifted by the founder of the Boots pharmacy chain, Jesse Boot.

Locals affectionately refer to it as Boots Passage.

Walking through this archway, you will notice a tile depicting Windsor Castle, which supports part of the name 'Castle'.

Windsor Castle rises above the pub, and some tables inside offer a great view of this historic landmark.
