About Black Prince
A pub believed to date to the 18th century on a quiet residential street between Kennington and Vauxhall, a short walk from the Oval cricket ground.
The Black Prince occupies a corner plot on the residential backstreets between Kennington and Vauxhall, its licence believed to stretch back to the 1700s, though little of that age is obvious from the current interior. It draws a genuinely local crowd rather than passing trade, with a warm welcome for the steady flow of cricket fans who fill it before and after a day's play at the Oval, a few minutes' walk east. There's no gastropub styling or craft beer list here, just a proper unpretentious local doing what backstreet pubs have always done for the streets around them.
