The Fighting Cocks is a renowned live music venue located in Kingston upon Thames. Originally established as a pub in the 18th century, it has a long history of hosting both established and emerging musical talent. The venue is particularly noted for its intimate setting and strong association with alternative and post-punk music; it played a significant role in the early careers of bands during the 1970s punk explosion and continues to champion diverse musical acts today. It underwent a period of closure and community-led fundraising to secure its future as a live music space. The venue maintains a capacity generally under 200 people, fostering close interaction between performers and audiences.
