The Princess Louise was featured on a tour and in the Time Out that I read on Pubs in the Bloomsbury neighborhood. This particular pub was an ornate interior of partitions made of intricately carved wood and colourful glass. It might not make the best use of space but it gives the pub an intimate feel. It is very close to The British Museum and London University and so is frequented by locals, professors and graduate students. It is a tied house meaning that it can only serve the product of one brewery. In this case the lack of variety is not a bad thing since they serve Samuel Smiths from Tadcaster, York. I have always loved their Oatmeal Stout and Nut Brown Ale. At the Pub they have Organic Cider and a great Bitter that is under two pounds per pint.
One unique thing about this pub is that there is no music played there. This is traditional but man pubs in the city now play loud music. I like not having the music because it makes conversation easier and more relaxed.
