Reviews
For some reason they remodeled the pub not sure how long ago with these wooden cubicle type areas around the bar area, which just kills the atmosphere feels very closed in, it has lost it's charm. They still have a small open area in the back of the pub with the traditional open area which is where you will find everyone and a very small area at the front of the bar,which on a Friday afternoon is a very old crowd. Standard beers on taps. Service is fine.
Victorian pub with beautiful embossed glass, wooden traditional decor. Other than small open area, there’s wooden cube set up around the bar with privacy. Impeccable service. Cons: -very limited beer choice, only Sam smith lager and ‘ stout’. Larger half pint£3.80 -disgusting smell in toilets both gents and ladies
Very atmospheric placepaintings, two floors, lamps, warm lights, but the rest is not on the same level. Pie was too crunchy and dry, definitely microwaved - cold outside and hot as hell inside. Waited order very long, hadn't got my teawhen it was brought, the cup was not clean. The portion was quite little for a pretty high price.
Very quiet on a summer Monday afternoon with just me and a couple of American tourists quenching their thirst in this watering hole in their European tour. The place sells nothing but Samuel Smith beers of all sorts which happen to be one of my favourite British alcoholic gems. My apricot fruit beer is refreshing but a little on the sweet side. The Victorian decor - repetitive flower mouldings, patterned ceiling, dark stained woodwork … are very quaint but can feel overwhelming. Space is limited so if the crowds come, will be shoulder to shoulder in no time. I did spent a comfortable afternoon pub crawl with the Princess Louise as first stop. Not disappointed.
Holborn  £6.70 Taddy Lager The Princess Louise is located on bustling High Holborn in Central London. The nearest Tube is Holborn which is just around the corner. This pub was built in 1872 and is Grade II listed. Princess Louise was the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria and this is the only UK pub named after her. In 2007 the pub went through a comprehensive restoration which saw the reinstatement of the original multi-roomed layout with wood and etched glass dividing walls. The decor here is jaw droppingly beautiful, this is one of the finest preserved Victorian pub interior’s in London. At the centre of the pub is an ornate mahogany servery with a carved wood back bar. Fanning off the servery are several bars, snugs and booths. Upstairs is a carpeted bar predominantly used for dining. Everywhere you look there are stunning details like enormous engraved and gilt mirrors, Portland stone columns, etched mirrors and stained glass, marble fireplaces and Victorian tiles. You’ll find some the best finery is in the corridors, the mosaic flooring is just exquisite. The Gents toilet is also something to marvel. This is a Sam Smith’s pub, so the beer offering is all in house brews which included two cask ales. I decided on a pint of Taddy Lager, my pint was great, price point was high. The food menu is hearty pub classics. I arrived around 2pm on a Friday afternoon in April. I thought I’d visit before the post work rush so I could have a good gander at the splendour. The pub wasn’t overly busy and felt calm and relaxed. As most of you know Sam Smith’s pubs have no TV’s or background music, so you could have heard a mouse fart. The service was excellent, I had a nice chat with the Guv’nor who has also run The Yorkshire Grey near the beeb. Holborn is an area I love visiting as it is a goldmine for beautiful boozers. The Princess Louise is a simply stunning pub, its opulence and grandeur is something to behold. If you are ever in this part of town, be sure to visit this beautiful London pub. ℹ Info correct on visiting 19.04.24
Didn’t have food but had drink and used the toilets. According to my partner the gents toilets had a very strong smell of urine, but were spotless otherwise; could have something to do with the fact the urinals are listed, not sure. Lovely Sam Smiths pubService: 5/5
This is my second time visiting here! I love here! Taking me back to the ancient classic atmosphere with delicious beers!! Most of the customers are business men not touristic is also nice. Further more I found the best black beer here = Extra Stout so good!Food: 5/5
Lovely authentic food. Brings you back to the old times. If you're a Peaky blinders fan, you should definitely visit. Separate places to sit, vintage glass and bar, awesome drinks. Food: 4/5
Fantastic meal of sausage, mash and onion rings! I walked around for an hour searching for an authentic meal and finally found it! Highly recommend!!!Food: 5/5
Absolutely beautiful Victorian pub. The tiling, ceiling, mosaics, stained glass, and general interior decoration is astounding, and well worth a visit for a pint. The cider on draft is also delicious.Service: 5/5
