Princess of Prussia is a traditional pub on Prescot Street in Whitechapel, within walking distance of Tower Hill, the Tower of London and St Katharine Docks. Its Victorian character survives in ornate ceramic mouldings, cornices and exterior tiles, giving the building a distinctive sense of place.
Food combines Thai cooking with familiar British pub dishes. Curries and noodle dishes bring spice and freshness to the menu, while fish and chips provides a classic alternative for diners looking for straightforward comfort food alongside a pint.
The pub serves food across lunch and dinner, with an especially useful weekday lunch window as well as extended service at weekends. That flexibility suits local workers, visitors exploring nearby landmarks and groups meeting for a meal before an evening in the city.
Real ales from Shepherd Neame anchor the drinks selection, supported by lager, cider, wine and other pub staples. A secluded covered and heated garden at the rear adds an appealing place to eat or drink outdoors throughout much of the year.
Address: 15 Prescot Street, Whitechapel, London E1 8AZ, England
