The Princess Victoria

Historic Charm and Modern Comfort in West London

A former Victorian gin palace turned boutique hotel, The Princess Victoria blends timeless charm with contemporary style. Located on Uxbridge Road in West London, this handsome pub-with-rooms is ideally placed for concert-goers heading to venues like Eventim Apollo or Shepherd’s Bush Empire. With just a few beautifully designed rooms above a lively gastropub, it offers a warm, intimate vibe that’s perfect for unwinding after a night of live music.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just under two miles from the legendary Eventim Apollo, and well connected to other venues via nearby tube stations like Shepherd’s Bush and Acton Central. Despite the buzz outside, the rooms are well soundproofed, giving you a chance to recharge in peace. The 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out offer solid flexibility, and the welcoming pub atmosphere downstairs means you’re never far from a nightcap or post-show snack.

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves up modern British fare with vegetarian, vegan, and dairy-free options available. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the bar and kitchen stay open late enough to satisfy post-show cravings. Breakfast is available, making recovery after a big night out that much easier. Plus, you’re within walking distance of plenty of local eateries for even more late-night bites.

Nightlife Options

The downstairs bar is a local favorite, known for its craft beer selection, fine wines, and relaxed atmosphere. While it’s not a live music venue itself, you’ll find several buzzing pubs and late-night spots nearby in Shepherd’s Bush and Notting Hill. Whether you're after a quiet drink or dancing till late, options are close and convenient.

What People Say

Guests love the stylish rooms, with many highlighting the comfy beds, rainfall showers, and boutique decor. The on-site pub gets high marks for its food, drink, and friendly vibe. Reviews also praise the hotel’s location for both transport links and access to London’s music and cultural scenes. It’s a great mix of character, comfort, and convenience.

Areas for Improvement

With only a handful of rooms, availability can be tight on concert weekends—book ahead! Also, being above a popular pub means there may be a bit of ambient noise downstairs early in the evening, but things usually quiet down by bedtime.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to a gig in West London and want a stylish, relaxed place to stay within easy reach of the action, The Princess Victoria hits all the right notes.
