About The Princess Louise
Victorian gin palace in Holborn with spectacularly preserved 1891 interiors featuring etched glass screens, ornate tilework, and a horseshoe bar. The individual drinking booths were originally designed for privacy in an era when public drinking was considered scandalous.
Insider Tips
Visit between 3-5pm to actually appreciate the detailed Victorian tilework and mirrors without the after-work crowd that packs it shoulder-to-shoulder.
