A follow-up tour of Holborn, on the edge of the City of London, probably my favourite area of London for pubs. Taking in the beautiful opulent interior of the Princess Louise, followed by a few perhaps lesser known Holborn pubs on or near to Red Lion Street.

I take a look at the pub exteriors, interiors and history, and at least a quick mention of the beer offering. On the way I cover the usual eclectic mix of topics - the inspiration for Princess Louise and the Duke of Argyll's wedding cake; the Gordon Riots of 1780; the coaching inns of old Holborn; the exhumation of Oliver Cromwell in 1661; bad behaviour in chess tournaments in the latter half of the 19th Century; the Zeppelin bombing raids on London in WW1; Sir John Franklin's lost expedition to find the Northwest Passage; and also a very brief mention of the Fryer's Delight, a 1958 fish and chip shop on Theobalds Road.
