Princess Louise in London

Ah, the Princess Louise – it's one of those pubs that just warms your heart the moment you step inside, with its beautiful Victorian vibes and intricate details that make you feel like you're in a bygone era. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, folks absolutely rave about the welcoming staff and the solid food and drink options; that fish and chips sounds like a winner, and the beers are kept in tip-top shape, perfect for settling in with mates after a long day. It's got this spacious feel upstairs that's great for groups, and those cocktail deals add a fun twist to the experience. On the downside, though, prices seem to have crept up a bit – I heard someone mention shelling out over eight quid for a pint, which isn't quite the bargain you might expect from a Sam Smith spot. Plus, it's a tad frustrating not seeing the prices upfront, as it can lead to a bit of a shock at the bar. All in all, it's a cracking place for a proper pub crawl or a relaxed catch-up, as long as you're prepared for the odd expense and can appreciate the charm over the costs.
