Prince of Wales Townhouse, Hammersmith

Following an extensive refurbishment of its interior and garden, the pub reopened in 2020 with a new name, incorporating its likely original one, the Prince of Wales, becoming 'his' Townhouse. Presently there are connections with the well-regarded Big Smoke Brewery, with its small chain of pubs in London and South-east England, with the Laine Brewery, continuing from its earlier role, and with Punch. (Both Laine and Punch are ultimately owned by US bank Fortress Investment Group).

The L-shaped bar, along much of the inside wall of the large single room, is equipped with ten handpumps, usually offering a range of up to four cask ales and at least one cider, plus fifteen keg beer lines. Decor is light and airy, whilst seating consists of a mixture of upholstered banquettes and wooden chairs.

Outside, the garden has been enhanced with a number of open-sided huts for four, some comfortable wooden tables and chairs with sunshades and a few of the Big Smoke signature biergarten-style long trestle tables with benches. In winter the area may be protected from the elements with a canvas roof and provided with heaters.

An extensive menu includes pub-grub favourites, sharing platters and more up-market dishes. Normally, breakfast is served from 9am but, under the terms of the licence, alcohol may not be served until 10am and the pub has indicated that alcohol service starts at 11am. There is no food service between 3pm and 5pm.

Various food and drink offers may be seen on the venue website, including a "work from the pub" offer.
