The Princecess of Wales Public House is a prominent building within the Conservation
Area, both in views along Lea Bridge Road (from the east and west) and along the
River Lea. Both the Lea Bridge Road frontage and the river banks contain important
groups of trees which are prominent in views into and out of the Conservation Area.
The chimneys and distinctive gable to the former carbonic acid gas works are
important features within views around the Conservation Area. The low scale of
development within the Conservation Area is especially evident in views along the
small streets and across the open landscape areas surrounding the Lea Bridge
Conservation Area.
