Princess Louise, Victorian pub in Holborn, England
The Princess Louise features an ornate Victorian interior with wooden panels, etched mirrors, brass fixtures, and separate drinking areas divided by mahogany partitions.
Built in 1872, this Grade II listed building underwent a significant renovation in 1891 that established its current architectural configuration with an island bar.
The pub became a central meeting point for influential folk musicians during the British folk revival movement of the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Located near the British Museum and operated by Samuel Smith Brewery, this establishment maintains strict policies against mobile phone usage and recorded music.
The preservation extends to the marble-clad men's restroom facilities, which earned their own separate Grade II listing status.
