About The Tudor Arms
The Tudor Arms is a Greene King pub in a quiet residential corner of North Watford, built in 1932 with a mock-Tudor frontage, a large beer garden and a children's play area. It hosts plenty of free live music sessions and runs open mic nights through Greene King's Live at Your Local programme, giving new performers a stage, alongside a charity quiz and Friday-night karaoke. A relaxed, family-friendly local with grassroots live music on the bill.
