The British Prince was situated at 49 Bromley Street. This small, back-street grade-II listed pub was established by 1851 and closed in around 2005 or 2006, becoming a private home.  During the 1980s and 1990s at least it was a Taylor Walker Brewery pub.
Listed building details:
Early C19, but facade partly rebuilt, probably as a result of war damage. Brick with coped parapet. 2 storeys, 3 unbarred sash windows. Ground floor has panelled wooden public house front under entablature with modillion cornice. Grade II as building adjoins No 47 and has a corner position at the junction of Bromley Street and Chudleigh Street. It is thus of focal importance in the group.
