The Black Prince is a hotel, former public house, and road junction in the London Borough of Bexley on the A2 between Bexley and Bexleyheath. The building today is a Holiday Inn.
Road junction
As well as the A2, the A223 to Bexley and A220 to Bexleyheath meet at the junction.[1] On contemporary traffic reports, the junction is known as the Black Prince Interchange.[2]
Pub and hotel
The pub was constructed in a mock-Edwardian style[3] and is named after Edward, the Black Prince, that allegedly haunts the nearby Hall Place, who stayed at the hall en route to wars with France.[4][5] Edward Heath stayed at the hotel as part of his campaign to become MP for Bexley in the 1950 general election.[6]
In the 1960s and 70s, the pub was a popular live music venue,[7] and featured appearances from Little Walter,[8] the Graham Bond Organisation,[9] Cream[10] and Genesis.[11] It is alleged that Eric Clapton played his last ever gig with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers at the venue in 1966.[12] The hotel has hosted the annual Kent International Piano and Keyboard Fair since 2001.[13]
