Tucked away along Lea Bridge Road, overlooking the River Lea, the Princess of Wales is a neighbourhood pub in Clapton that’s had a fresh new look. Just a short stroll from Lea Bridge and Clapton stations, we’re the perfect spot for laid-back weekends, good food and a proper pub catch-up in Hackney.
Sundays are something special here, with a generous Sunday roast, all the trimmings and a table worth settling into. Our food is at the heart of what we do, and there’s plenty to enjoy throughout the week too. Head out to our Riverside Terrace, where our outdoor kitchen serves up juicy burgers and freshly cooked favourites. Fully covered and heated, it’s a spot to enjoy all year round, whatever the weather has in store.
At the bar, you’ll find a good line-up of craft beers, carefully chosen wines, and indulgent cocktails worth staying for. And with our four-legged friends always welcome (we’re a little obsessed with dogs, if we’re honest), there’s room for the whole gang.
Ryan and the team are ready to welcome you in. Come by for a Sunday roast, make a weekend of it or simply settle in by the river. There’s always a good reason to stop by the Princess.
