The Princess of Wales

You'll find yourself on Chalcot Road in Primrose Hill, where this pub sits comfortably among independent shops and residential charm. Walk in and it feels exactly like what a good local should be—wooden floors, a bar that doesn't try too hard, and the sort of crowd that's genuinely there to enjoy themselves rather than perform for Instagram. The Princess has that rare quality of being equally welcoming whether you're ducking in for a pint after work or settling in for a proper meal with friends.
