Princess of Prussia, TOWER HAMLETS, London

A wonderful throwback to Victorian London, the Princess of Prussia in Whitechapel beguiles with its traditional charm and authentic atmosphere.

The pub, close to Tower Bridge, the Tower of London and several other historic city sights, has been recently restored to its former glories - bringing the original façade of ornate ceramic moldings, cornices and fascia tiles back to life.

The character continues inside too, where a cosy, comfortable traditional bar serves real ales from Britain’s oldest brewer. It’s the perfect place to savour a proper pint on the tourist trail, offering refreshment following a tour of the Tower or a stroll round St Katharine’s Dock.

The Princess of Prussia is also a place to find fine food, and it’s here that tradition takes a twist. The pub can also cater for special events by tailoring a buffet to your taste.

And if there weren’t already enough reasons to visit, The Princess has one last secret up her sleeve. A tranquil, secluded courtyard garden is the perfect spot for summer - offering a rare oasis of calm in the heart of the capital.
