A large pub on a busy street corner trying to be hip by removing "of Wales" from the name,the front seating terrace has an entrance to the tap room which is rather antiseptic and featureless.The wooden floored interior is L shaped with modern wooden furniture ,some high tables and drinking shelves with some large doors to an external beer garden.There is an upstairs room called The Loft,unvisited by me,and there is a lower level seating area down some steps with it's own door and the loos.
The food offering was asian seemingly at decent value but the bar was ale free,standard kegs apart from a decent Two Tribes Campfire served in a heavy,ornate glass which made the half look bigger.
Staff friendly but nothing to warrant another visit.

The Prince is a large commanding Edwardian pub that replaced a former Victorian boozer built in 1868 on the site. Painted black, it dominates this section of the Lillie Road close to West Brompton tube station
It was closed a few years back and marked for demolition due to the enormous CapCo redevelopment of Earl's Court to the north of the pub. But this redevelopment is years behind schedule and the pub reopened in 2017 after a bit of a restoration.
I didn’t get what was going on here at first as on first viewing the pub also seems to be three small fast-food outlets that front onto Lillie Road but cannot be entered from here as they are actually part of the pub. Basically what this pub is, is more of a party venue / nightclub with street food / fast food franchises attached, in fact there are four of them in total.
From the main pub entrance, you enter into a normal wooden floored bar room with a small L shaped blue tiled modern bar section to the right and limited seating to the edges. But beyond this to the right a large neon glowing sign above a rectangular entrance invites you to enter the “Woodland Garden”, an here you find the enormous gazebo style garden space mentioned by the reviewer below, with its own bar section at the far end and entrance to the pizza, burger, Asian food and waffle pop ups. It wasn’t that busy when we entered early evening and looked like several young groups were wrapping up their Christmas dinners. But even with only a few in it gave a very good impression of a large echoey barn so I hate to think what its like when it is full on a DJ night.
Suffice to say no real ale here, just some chrome taps with the usual faux foreign lagers (yes Madri I’m talking about you) and the usual Camden and Beavertown suspects on the ale front. If you are under 30 you will probably think this is a great place, as I would have done 40 years ago. But fortunately for me today the current GBG listed Lillie Langtry is almost opposite.

I came here mid February last year, but for some reason, my review has disappeared.
Revamped and renamed in 2017, the place was largely unmemorable for the pub aficionado, but has an enormous gazebo-style garden, which makes for most of the customer occupancy space, totalling 450 with the whole place having the possibility to accommodate up to 800, making for more of a nightclub feel, customers being young and trendy, music being loud.
There was no real ale and I expect my half of fizz was woefully overpriced and whilst I can't remember it well, I know that I wouldn't want to make a return visit.
