Loved the vibe here. It&#39;s a proper old pub just a short walk from Tower Bridge, but feels miles away from the crowds. The dark wood and little rooms are so cozy, especially the one with the fireplace. Felt like stepping back a hundred years.

Katie and the team were so helpful with drink suggestions. I really appreciated how they explained the ingredients in the mocktails. It made choosing something fresh and light so much easier. A lovely, relaxed evening.

The roast was huge and the potatoes were really crispy. Staff brought extra horseradish without me asking.

Downstairs seating is much cosier than the main bar. Grabbed a quiet corner table and stayed for hours. Just what I needed after a long day.

Stumbled in by chance. Joe and Binita were great, really made us feel welcome. That kind of service is hard to find.

The view of St. Paul&#39;s from the riverside terrace is lovely. Sat outside with a pint, the atmosphere was perfectly relaxed for a break during a walk. The setting is definitely the main attraction here.

Been coming here for years, and it&#39;s the music that keeps me coming back. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon - they always have a great playlist on, just the right volume for a proper chat.

The range of beers is excellent, and the bartenders are very knowledgeable, offering spot-on recommendations to suit your taste.

Solid beer and cider selection on tap. The Guinness was poured perfectly, but it&#39;s central London pricing.

Great spot for a group event. The ingredients in the holiday menu were so fresh, which I really appreciate. Staff were very accommodating.

Jacob was really attentive and helped us navigate the menu. The service was friendly and made the whole meal feel relaxed. A nice, comfortable evening.

This pub has a lovely atmosphere, perfect for families. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made our visit enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it for a casual outing.

The Sunday roast was pretty good, especially the fresh Yorkshire pudding. Service was decent too.

First visit since the relaunch. The new menu is solid, especially the vegetarian options. The mushroom and lentil pie was really well done, a proper hearty dish. Always liked this pub, but the food&#39;s definitely stepped up.

Happy hour cocktails are great. Food&#39;s decent, quick bite. Fun vibe, quirky spot. Downstairs club if you&#39;re up for it later.

Korean fried chicken was spot on. Crispy, juicy, the sauce had a nice kick. Lobster croquettes were decent too. Pub grub but a bit more interesting.

If you&#39;re a fan of Amy Winehouse, this bar is a must-visit! The walls are adorned with her photos, and the vibe is nostalgic and charming. The live performances are top-notch, making it a fantastic spot for music lovers.

I absolutely loved the unique cocktails at Scarfes Bar. The &#39;Free Falling&#39; cocktail was a standout with its delicious chocolate wine twist. Can&#39;t wait to return for more!

The seasonal menu always has something new. I keep coming back just to see what they&#39;ve come up with next.

The cocktails were the star for me. They&rsquo;ve got this creative, almost artistic touch to them. Pricey, sure, but for that level of craft in a buzzing London spot, it felt justified. Made the evening feel a bit more special.

Lovely Easter roast at the pub with the fam. The lamb was spot on, really tender and those roasties were crispy perfection. Staff were super friendly, made it feel really cosy. A proper nice Sunday vibe.

The lamb roast was so tender it just fell apart! The chicken was juicy too, not dry at all. Loved the crispy roast potatoes and huge Yorkshire puddings. Perfect for sharing with friends over a long, chatty lunch.

Just had their Sunday roast for the first time. The pork shoulder was so tender it fell apart, and that bit of caramelised apple with it was spot on. Really hit the spot on a grey afternoon.

The Princess of Wales is a delightful spot for a meal, with a menu full of British classics. The fish &amp; chips and steak &amp; ale pie are must-tries, and the drinks selection is perfect for pairing with your meal.

Popped in for a pint and a bite. The ham, egg and chips were really well done. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, which made it a very relaxed visit.

The team is always on it, even when packed. You can tell they care about the place. Food comes out quick, no waiting around.

Solid English breakfast, unlimited coffee refills. Good value for a quick bite. The pub&#39;s got some local history on the walls, which is a nice touch. Got in and out fast, perfect for a lunch break.

Been here a few times now. Food&#39;s always solid. The homemade pasta is the move. Good portions, fair price. That&#39;s it.

The refurb looks nice, feels cosy. Good for a chilled lunch.
