The Princess Royal, Nothing Hill

The pub and terrace are accessible but a steep staircase to the four rooms upstairs and no lift makes overnight stays tricky for those with mobility issues. If you’re planning something special, the two upstairs private dining rooms are as stylish as the rest of the establishment. The Victoria seats 20 and has its own private terrace, and Charlotte seats eight in a space with an original fireplace and oodles of antique allure.

The pub has come full circle, reclaiming the name it started with in Victorian times. It went through a few phases in the interim, pivoting to a porterhouse and oyster bar and Cali-style restaurant before the Country Creatures hotel group moved in.
