Princess Louise is most beautiful pub in London
Related Articles
07 January 2008
Closed for most of 2007, the Princess Louise is back open again. Its classic Victorian interior is still gloriously intact; indeed, it's come back with extra period additions, with partitions now running down the sides of the island bar, creating the sort of subdivided drinking spaces common to nineteenth century gin palaces.
Whilst in keeping with the rest of the pub's design, the partitions however bring their own problems, with the reduction in floor space being the most obvious.
Minor quibbles aside, the Princess Louise is still an enticing pub; arguably the most beautiful in London. Given this, it's also an extremely popular one so a visit out of peak hours is recommended to fully experience its wonders (including the ornate gents' toilets).
Definitely give it a look though; any serious list of London's must-see pubs has this one close to the top. A last point to remember: as a pub owned by the Samuel Smith's Brewery, the Princess Louise only sells Sam's branded drinks.
