This welcome retreat from Villiers Street has portraits and biographies of famous local residents on the walls of the ground-floor bar, including Alexandra, wife of Edward VII, after whom the pub was named (despite contrary information on the pub's web-site). The pub sign shows a portrait of her.

The upstairs "Rudyard Kipling Dining Lounge" has its own bar and street entrance. There are occasional "Meet the Brewer" evenings and Nicholson's Beer Festivals. Be aware that after 8pm beer is only served in plastic containers due to the adjacency of Charing Cross railway station. The food offering includes some interesting starters plus pub classics, lunchtime sandwiches and toasties, and a kids menu. Food options include takeaway and delivery as well as eating in the pub.

Last refurbed in 2023.
