Those of you at T's birthday bash last night (and maybe some others) may be interested to hear more of the Princess Louise.

According to:

http://www.pubs.com/pub_details.cfm?ID=226

it is indeed Grade 2* listed and was recently refurbished to return it to its Victorian glory.

It might be interesting to visit the other three pubs that website lists as 'gems':

the Red Lion, The Argyll Arms, the George Inn

The George Inn I know - it's a wonderful 17th century coaching inn just south of London bridge.

The George and the Louise are both excellent pubs; the Louise is also a Sam Smith's, which means decent bottled beer.

(It may sound a little odd, but the Louise also has the most impressive urinals in London. I'm not kidding - full-on Victorian originals; marble and porcelain and wrought iron.)

I was in the Louise last night so can certainly speak to the decent bottled beer (vegan too!).

I was less impressed with the urinals. Maybe this comes form going to a school that had a lot of victorian bits, but I also have the impression that I've seen that design of urinal elsewhere in the fairly recent past. Not sure where though...

First time I was there, I was reminded of the urinals in a con hotel I'd been in lately - Adelphi, perhaps? Or maybe it was a conference, so somewhere in *.ac.uk....
