🚇 Warwick Avenue 🍺 £6.05 Pravha ❤️ An Absolute Stunner. The Prince Alfred is located in leafy Maida Vale where North and West London meet. The nearest Tube station is Warwick Avenue, it’s a three minute walk to get here. This stunning pub was built in 1856 and is Grade II* listed. This pub is deemed so precious that recently it was upgraded from Grade II to Grade II*. When you see the decoration of this gorgeous structure, it is easy to see why. The pub was featured in David Bowie’s Grammy Award-winning short film “Jazzin’ For Blue Jean”. Codebreaker and computer pioneer Alan Turing was born next door. The interior of this pub is one of the most beautiful you will come across anywhere in London. You may have seen in a few other posts or read about 'Snob Screens'. This pub is one of around eight pubs in England that still retain an authentic original set from the Victorian era. The purpose of a Snob Screen was to allow middle class drinkers to see working class drinkers in an adjacent bar, but not to be seen by them. Other impressive features include ornate carved woodwork, finely-etched glazing, colourful tilework, mosaic flooring and hanging lamps. The Prince Alfred has a peninsula-style servery surrounded by all of its original five drinking compartments, each with its own external entrance. At the rear of the main bar is the Formosa Dining Room, if you head downstairs you’ll find an atmospheric cellar with cosy booths. This @youngspubs had a good beer selection, I ordered a pint of Pravha, my pint was lovely with an average price point. There is an elevated traditional pub grub menu available, Roasts are very popular here on a Sunday. I visited with family on a warm summer evening back in June. The pub was both busy inside and out. The punters were a mix of locals and a fair few having a beer after watching the cricket at nearby Lords. The service was friendly and courteous. . @theprincealfredpub is a marvellous jaw dropping historic pub that needs to be put at the top of your must visit list, simply stunning. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 03.06.23
