Prince of Wales (The) (POW) London Review
Prince of Wales (The) (POW) is featured in these Guides:
With bright POW neon blue lights leading you to these premises you’d maybe expect to find the Prince of Wales all glittery and new age stylish inside. You’ll be flabbergasted by what you’ll find. The owner has got to be either a kleptomaniac or a gatherer and hoarder on an epic scale. The ceiling and walls are simply dripping with the most random selection of objects and things that wouldn’t look out of place in Steptoe & Sons Cavern.
The beer here is reasonably priced though fellow customers (not us as we’d been reviewing pubs all day and at the stage couldn't notice) remarked on the weakness of the strength. Smallish in space and made cosier by the collection, The Prince of Wales caters for a wide range of age, with beard wearers especially welcome.
Perfect place to bring someone who has no conversation and if you appreciate the Stone Roses & the like.

Customer Reviews for Prince of Wales (The) (POW)
The following customer reviews are not endorsed by Fluid London and are simply those of users who wish to publish their independent experiences of Prince of Wales (The) (POW).
“It seems Jibber went to the wrong pub because the POW in Clapham Old Town has not sold Pride in the 10 years I've been drinking there. The best bitter beer is Timothy Taylor’s Landlord (four times Camra’s beer of the year) but unfortunately the pub landlord doesn't buy enough to keep a steady supply so the patient locals have to put up with a variable flow. The toilets often smell (I know women who won’t use them), as sometimes does the pub itself - some days are better than others. Last Saturday night there was a couple there who insisted on throwing the ball up and down the floor of the bar for their two small dogs to chase! Because the landlord rarely appears, except on Thursday’s quiz night, there is no mine host taking any interest whatsoever in his clients and the staff turnover means the service and volume of the music are variable. The walls are decorated with an exceptional variety of tat which gives it an unusual ambience though it must surely be a serious fire hazard. Although it would be a great shame to change it radically it does need some TLC.”

“Jibber's got it right. Used to be a great little pub with plenty of atmosphere but might as well go to the Frog and Forget Me Not as it is just as bad but has more space.”

“Klepto, are you sure you have ever been in this pub. For a start, they don't take any credit cards although you say they take them all. And do you think £2.80 is cheap for a pint of Stella, or £3.80 for a pint of Hoegaarten?”
