The Prince of Wales in Southwark

Best pub locally. Good food. Good service. 10/10

Wonderful wonderful service!! Great atmosphere (foody on) just a perfect pub! Don't miss it!!

After visiting the War Museum (which I recommend) we looked for a place to eat quickly since we were in a bit of a hurry. We found this place that already had good reviews. We wanted fish & chips and it is the best I have ever tried. The staff are super friendly and the place is the typical bar that you expect in London. They served us super fast.

Typical and authentic London's pub. The staff was polite and friendly and the food delicous!

Yeah found the place finally. May be close to the IWM but full of locals, a lot Irish. The owner stopped for a chat and just watching people. Good suggestion on a beer. The pie was great and they added salad as I said no chips or gravy. Great taste and nice presentation

Nice, chilled atmosphere, good food and beer, very friendly service. Ideal for meeting friends, watching football, playing pool, or just relaxing.

Had a lovely lunch with my family at this pub! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a family meal. The food was good and came out quickly, and our server, Leandro, was especially attentive and friendly.

Trouvé par hasard dans le quartier où nous séjournions superbe découverte !!! Le premier soir nous y sommes allé à 2 couples et ça nous à tellement plu que nous y sommes revenus le lendemain soir avec les ados !! Très bonne cuisine typique ( fish and chips, burger, agneau, tourtes etc…) service rapide et très agréable prix de 11 à 19£ donc vraiment abordable pour Londres. Je conseille vivement et un grand merci à Leandro et Werner pour leur service sympathique et efficace !!

It was my first time to London. A staff member at the IWM recommended “The Prince of Wales” to me. Super nice place and the staff was very friendly. Getrit was really helpful with my dinner order and with helping me to find a ride back to my hotel in Finsbury Park. Thanks guys! Jim from NY

Nice place. Leandro is a very nice guy, who also speaks Portuguese!! The food was delicious and also I liked the beers very much.

Excellent pub and delicious fish and chips We liked it a lot.

Great food and even better service

Friendly staff and delicious comfort food

Nice little pub with good number of seating to dine and have beers.

Perfect pub, friendly staff and very good food, there is a billiards in the place and on Friday evenings they do karaoke. Highly recommended.

Good food and friendly staff. Try the cheesecake with caramel. We went back twice!

Nice quick pub meals. Service was great, but it felt like an old club house atmosphere.

Very quiet place. They treated us wonderfully and the food was spectacular.

Lovely pub, will be making this my local. Nice cheap pints compared to what you usually get in London and a well-looked-after pool table which is always a bonus. Great music always.

Lovely pub with friendly service and delicious food! Highly recommend it!

Lovely boozer, great well looked after pool table and nice cheap pints when everywhere else charges you a fortune. Will be coming back more.

Excellent option for a Sunday roast, have been a couple of times now and would happily go again.

Great Food. We had fish & chips, burger and chicken nuggets. All dishes were high class pub quality! Nazz gave very delicious beer recommendations - and our little daughter got a free ice cream dessert. We will definitely come again!

Super nice boss, good food at reasonable prices! Karaoke in the evening. Nice and cool people! Anytime again and thank you for the lovely evening

Very nice people and service! Good food and drinks! They accepted our wishes to watch Chapionsleague! Very recommand this bar!

Love this place! Lovely staff and delicious food. 😍 Thank youuu Jenny! ✨️

Good food at a reasonable rate.

One of the best Fish and chips in London, mushy peas are a very small portion only a large teaspoon.

Lovely Service, Superb Food and dessert is Divine. Can't Praise enough.

Great service great food and good people

Great Sunday lunch, happy friendly service. A large group all fed and happy - very speedy service with a smile. Thank you.

A very authentic pub the best bangers and mash I ever had

It was really good, the staff is good also ! We had some chicken burger, fish and chips and cottage pie. Good place to go to.

We had Cottage Pie with mash and vegetables, lamb shank with vegetables. They were absolutely delicious. Staff were very helpful, the rest of the customers were very friendly.

If you aren't from London and you have come to enjoy, make sure to go out of your way to experience the Prince of Wales. Don't just learn about the people buried beneath stones at Westminster, go and eat warm, wonderful food amongst the warm and wonderful people. Have a pint and watch the locals playing snooker. The bar, the food, the service, and the people felt like coming home. Steak and gravy pie, fish n chips, sticky toffee pudding with ice cream. I wished I had room to eat and drink more! Also, fabulously affordable...

Traveling around London for the first one and came upon this spot. Had the Sunday roast and very much enjoyed it. Great atmosphere with an even greater meal and drinks.

Uriges Pub mit sehr freundlicher Bedienung und köstlichem Fish and Chips. Es war rappelvoll mit locals, wir die einzigen Touristen, auf den Fernsehern lief Pferderennen, im Nebenraum wurde Billiard gespielt. Hinter dem Haus ein Biergarten. Sehr zu empfehlen!

The owner and his team were amazing. We had a baby shower in this pub and they could not do enough for us. The food that’s was laid on was 10/10 price of drinks were very reasonable and the space was brilliant . Highly recommended a visit to a good old fashioned warm welcome and genuine hospitality. Thank you so much for a fantastic day

Lovely place great food and amazing staff

Great service, food and very friendly staff. Thank you.

Tried out this pub after visiting the war museum great service by Werner and outstanding food.

This place is delightful. Great service. Friendly staff. Clean. Lots of room to spread out. Good selection of drinks. The food is incredible. The curry chips are phenomenal. Bangers and mash are really good. Sunday roast was excellent, and very happy they included a side of horseradish (a must for roast).

Have come here quite a few times now and every time the customer service is top notch, warm and friendly staff. The tables and seating all clean and comfortable. Food is great, very fairly priced and screens are large, perfect for football.

The wife and I come down to London 2-3 times a year and always come to The Prince of Wales for the absolutely brilliant food and drink. The staff are so friendly which helps make a great atmosphere. The Sunday roasts are the best we have ever had, the portions are huge and the food is absolutely delicious. If you are in London you have to visit this brilliant pub for the amazing food, drink and atmosphere. A special mention to Sheila who makes the best bloody Mary's and Werner the host.

Incredibly lovely and genuine place, with very nice staff and regulars who move around to accommodate the group.

Great family run pub. Has a nice lunch here after visiting the Imperial War Museum. Fish and chips were delicious.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Good food for the prices.

Good food at a good price, nice atmosphere, pleasant staff,

Great pub close to the imperial war museum. On a very hot day, nice air-conditioning in two bars, Jenny the bar maid made us feel very welcome, the food was good and fresh. Would highly recommend if you're in the area.

There were 3 of us who had the roast beef and the sticky pudding and my daughter had the roasted chicken and it was very good! The service was friendly

Expensive for what it was. Very nice staff though.

I am a regular at this pub and have never had a problem, Until today. The final of the Eurocup! A guy called Harry, apart from being overbearing, rude and a lousy host. When I told him that the men's room is a lake full of piss. And to please clean it up. He looks at me, laughs and makes fun of me. Saying that the cleaner will come next week. What a discredit to this fine bar. Building a place dedicated to serving people is difficult. And with this kind of people it becomes impossible, a pity

We literally chose this pub because it was between the Imperial War Museum and our tube station (Elephant&Castle). What a wonderful choice! Our server, Jenny, was friendly and helpful. My husband ordered the roast chicken which was actually a Sunday Roast so it included roast vegetables and a Yorkshire pudding. He said the chicken was cooked perfectly. I ordered Bangers and Mash. It came with lots of peas and a very tasty beef gravy. I didn't eat it all (but I wanted to), because I was saving room for the blackberry and apple crumble that we ordered. We got there around 5 which is a bit early for dinner and the cook was on their break. Jenny took our orders so they were waiting for them when they returned. The food was hot and delicious! The prices were reasonable, and the location (for us) could not have been better! I wish we lived in the same country so we could come back!

We came to this place to watch a football game and have a dinner. The first of all, we were by two different waiters asked to change a table three times, which we found a bit rude and it certainly did not feel very welcoming. Then we had here some Sunday roast, the food was eatable, but the meat was completely overcooked. Lastly, we were automatically charged 12,5 % service charge without even notifying us, which have not happened to us anywhere else in British restaurants/pubs. To sum up, we were quite disappointed to our visit and perhaps this place is more meant for locals. P.S. I am pretty sure I reviewed the correct pub, we watched a football game in your terrace, see picture. Menu and address on it is the same as well.

Been to the Prince of Wales a couple of times. Cracking boozer and very reasonably priced. Irish landlord knows how to pour a cracking Guinness. Favourite pub in Elephant.

Had several really enjoyable meals at this pub and all of the staff were welcoming to these visitors from “Oz” and gave us plenty of great ideas for our stay in London.

Thank you very much for the night, I spent my birthday here and it was simply wonderful!!! great service and environment!!!

Shugz / Naz offered us a great service, were super nice, the ambiance is great, food and drinks were delicious. Recommend.

Great friendly service and tasty Sunday roast. Nice beer garden out the back and screens to watch sport

Sunday roast is amazing and all staff were extremely friendly, the service was great. I can’t wait to visit again!

A good restaurant. Very nice staff

Werner made our day! Absolute amazing hospitality, for food I chose what was recommended which was soooo good. The drinks are really reasonably priced. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the prince of wales! Thank you again Werner

I cannot express enough how lovely the staff are here and the owners who demonstrated such empathy recently when we held the wake here for our sisters passing and subsequently had a small family gathering here two months later for what would have been her 60th birthday. We used the function area and were allowed to decorate to our desire which made it even more special. When we went to view we knew it was the perfect venue for us. It's a warm and welcoming atmosphere and colours were just perfect for what we wanted. They could not do enough for us and we will never forget their kindness and support through these difficult times. The buffet they catered for was delicious and met all our guests food needs. I would recommend this venue 10/10 with merit. Thank you for everything, we will see you again very soon!

It is a very chill place during the day, and has nice and friendly staff

Representative of a real local English pub, off the tourist trail. The pleasure of watching a cricket match on live TV while admiring drunk old English people playing billiards while burping, it's worth the detour! I would have appreciated more tasty savory dishes but the hot crumble is heavy and the Guinness is served according to the rules of the art.

We ended up in this restaurant purely by chance. Not only the staff and the boss were very friendly, but also the English guests. We found a really typical English restaurant here with a cold beer and delicious food. We can really recommend the restaurant for tourists. We would like to come back.

A really lovely pub with the most helpful, welcoming and friendly staff. My aunt sadly passed away this year and we held her wake there. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that my family and friends were comfortable. We had a really lovely time considering the circumstances. So much so that we decided to go back to celebrate what would have been my aunts 60th birthday. The staff prepared a selection of delicious food at a great price. Again, they were so friendly, helpful and went out of their way to ensure that we were happy. Some of us had our children with us and they accommodated them too. I would highly recommend! 😊

We came here for some typical English food. The chicken and mushroom pie was good (4 stars), the cottage pie was a bit bland (3 stars). With the pies come a selection of either fried and salad or vegetables - we recommend fries and salad (4 stars) since it has much more flavor than the veggies. The only regional beer was a Guiness, we were hoping on a broader variety. Service and atmosphere were okay, but no more - we experienced places where we felt much more welcomed.

Stopped here for some beers with my dad after a visit to the Imperial War Museum with my dad. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was nice, and the beer was excellent. What more could you want?

Friendly atmosphere and delicious vegan chilli con carne on the menu.

I tried this place because one of the reviews described it as having a “convivial atmosphere.” Indeed it did! As a solo traveler visiting from the US, this was the UK pub experience I was hoping to have. Friendly staff and friendly locals ready to chat you up. It made me think of the “Cheers” bar. The first room had a pool table, but the bartender, quickly sensing this wasn’t my scene, directed me to the larger second room, where jukebox music was playing and said friendly locals were having a few pints. I didn’t venture out to the beer garden, but other reviews say it’s nice. I enjoyed this place so much on a Sunday night that I returned days later for my last night in London.

simple but effective menu. The server is very friendly.

We came to The Prince Of Wales on Saturday 20th April for my son’s 18th birthday celebrations. Margaret and her team decorated our very own section of the pub so beautifully! The party food was delicious! We had an absolutely fantastic night. Family and friends all together celebrating in such a great fun atmosphere! Great drinks prices.

Best roast I’ve ever had said my son. Little bit insulted🤣🤣🤣. Have to say he’s right but don’t tell him I said so😜. Great food and atmosphere was terrific. Definitely be back. .

We stopped in on a break from visiting the IWM down the street. What a find! This is a proper London pub, with a hint of Ireland in the place (but not a touristy Irish pub). The food and beer were top notch and

Good food, quick service. And good menu with reasonable prices. And close to theatre area. Download the app, works really well.

Amazing service and amazing food! Super attentive staff and they were absolutely lovely. Would recommend for a Sunday roast.

Top, very good not disappointed, superb atmosphere

I tried the roast beef Sunday Roast and it was outstanding!!!! Don’t eat lunch though. Also tried the sticky pudding with Ice Cream, it was good but a bit too sweet for me; but well balanced with Ice Cream. It reminded me a lot of a warm pumpkin spice cake :). The service, excellent!!!! Almost forgot, the cider in Pic, excellent

We loved our experience at The Prince of Wales. We were up for a Sunday roast on Easter Sunday and it did not disappoint it was amazing! The food was excellent, plentiful and delicious! The service was fabulous, Werner was a legend. The desserts weren’t worth the cost but the dinner and drinks definitely exceeded expectations. Only thing to note: if you are a tipper (which we are) there is a built in service charge for larger parties. The staff was working on Easter Sunday so it didn’t hurt to have double tipped but just a word if you are working on a budget. I would absolutely enjoy this pub again. It was a perfect Easter/Sunday dinner. Don’t hesitate, just go and say hi to Werner from the Canadians!

The food was excellent… so was the beer. We had a good meal wellcome by nice people. Even the match on TV was good ! Nothing special with thé place, the treasure is inside

Great Food and Atmosphere! Busy Pub, Good crowd. We all had a great meal. Yorkshire Pudding was delicious!

Werner the barman was an absolute legend, best spot on elephant & castle. Very well looked after! I would highly recommend this pub to everyone

Went on a Friday night and it was full of kids and stank of petrol

Overall good the servers were nice and the songs were good but the food came with stuff it did not say on the menu for example the meal came with salad even though it did not state it came with salad on the menu

Veeeery authentic pub, nice staff, excellent food - came here two nights in a row and probably would’ve kept coming if our trip hadn’t ended 😂

Fantastic pub with friendly staff

Good pub food and great service. 5* hygiene rating. More reasonably priced than the local museum cafe! Would recommend.

We had an overall very good experience. The only cons was the music that was just a bit loud. Food was incredibly good for the price and service was perfect.

We happened to be walking back to our hotel from church and noticed the Prince of Wales, traditional Sunday roast. We didn't have a reservation (Easter Sunday!) but they got us in anyway. Such a pleasant place, very friendly server and manager, and the food was excellent. Large portions, the roast and lamb was very good, and the Guiness pour was - well, you can't get a proper pour like that in the States. Mint sauce, horseradish, the potatoes, the gravy - all spot on. Perfect atmosphere for our Easter Sunday dinner - friendly, perfect balance of classy and elegant and pub decor. These four Americans enjoyed every minute. So glad we found this one.

Great food, extremely nice staff, very reasonable prices and extra good deserts.

Lovely friendly staff. Great pint. Would recommend

Lovely experience. Warm Welcome in on our way to the imperial war museum. Great service, great food and drink. Worth the visit.

Hidden gem with the cutest decor right around the corner of our Airbnb, I got the lamb shank and my sister got the chicken curry. We also had the salt and pepper squid. The service was phenomenal too!

We had a lovely dinner at The Prince of Wales on our final night in London. My husband had the fish and chips and loved them! I had the chicken and mushroom pie and it was also good. Jenny was our waitress and she was...

My wife, BIL, SIL and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner and evening at The Prince of Wales Pub. 3 of us had the fish and chips (excellent!) and my wife had the chicken and mushroom pie. Our meals were excellent! We also had dessert and both were very good! The highlight of the evening was the wonderful hospitality from our waitress, Jenny! Make sure to hit this local pub and ask for Jenny!!! John

Atmosphere was fabulous. Friendly crowd. Fish and Chips were great as was dessert and Jenny and her Dad the owner were so very accommodating and nice. Was a great local place. We would definitely go back if we were in London.

Had Mothers Day lunch here and wouldn't have wanted to spend it anywhere else. Food, ambience and staff were delightful. Margaret & Tom the lunch was the best and thank you for the lovely Mother's Day gift it was amazing !

We were on vacation and rented a house close by. Each day we looked forward to visiting th epub to end out night. Werener and everyone were absoltuly amazing! We had our kids with us and the staff were all so nice to them. I...

We got told as soon as we walked in “children aren’t allowed” as if we were 16 year olds. We are all 23 year olds, we obviously understand that challenge 25 exists but there was no need for the man to be so condescending… didn’t...
