Princess of Prussia

You'll find yourself in a neighbourhood where the City meets Whitechapel, and this place feels like it belongs exactly where it is. The Princess of Prussia does that rare thing: it takes the pub format seriously without any of the try-hard nonsense. There's real ale on tap, proper food that goes beyond the usual gastro-pub fare, and an atmosphere that draws everyone from local office workers to people who've made the trek specifically for a decent pint. The kind of place where the staff actually know what they're talking about.
