Prince Regent, Marylebone  

The last refit, a while ago now, put a fair bit of the Victorian charm back into this pub, albeit with a twist. Another pub in the growing portfolio of Mitchells and Butlers remodelled pubs, the Prince Regent's interior matches up fairy lights, frilly brollies and chandeliers with soft furnishings and dark wood walls. As with other M & B pubs, it heavily promotes continental beers though there are some good traditional English ales on tap too. The pub food is decent too - there's plenty of it and there's something for all appetites, but it doesn't dominate, like so it does in so many pubs nowadays. The overall effect of this one is of an elegant and swish drinking den, with the "Opium Lounge" taking this notion even further. Add live music and it shows that you can modernise a pub yet avoid turning it into a bare-boarded gastropub or an over-designed style bar. It works for us and, judging by its popularity it seems it also works for most other people around here.
