About Albert
Victorian pub with ornate original ceiling, Prime Ministers gallery and Parliamentary Division Bell.
This landmark 1864 rebuild of the 1831 Blue Coat Boy was named after the recently-deceased Prince Consort; Grade II listed and one of very few Victorian buildings left on a street now largely modern glass and concrete. It has a sprawling ground floor bar with large ornate windows, a high ceiling and an intimate dining room down to the right; upstairs past framed photographs of prime ministers is a sumptuous carvery restaurant. The food offering includes Sunday roasts.
There is a Parliamentary Bell in the pub dining room.
Note that the licence permits sale of alcohol from 10am Monday to Saturday and from noon on Sundays.

This is a such landmark pub on the Victoria Avenue which did not get bombed down during the WWII! The building itself is very welcoming and inviting! When you walked by it, just draw you in! We walked by a few times and decided to coming tonight and we are so glad we did! The first beer the bartender poured for me, when I touch the glass, the glass is warm, maybe that beer mug is just out of the dish washing machine! She immediately use another mug to pour me another beer! The fish and chips also is the best so far as we been stayed in London for a week now! The fish is fluffy and crispy…

Such cool history behind this place! Came here after a long day of sightseeing and had a great meal. Delicious fish and chips and mac and cheese. The atmosphere was amazing, I really enjoyed all the history they had present throughout the establishment. If you are in the area I highly recommend.

Service was a bit slow but a rustic, historic scene. Potted Devon Crab - not what we expected. The crab was presented similar to canned tuna. Fish and chips - better of the two dishes and some of the lightest fish fillets we've tasted. Hake & Romesco Ragout - just okay. The Ragout made the dish better.

This is a wonderful pub. Good was wonderful and service was great. Felt bad that I couldn't eat my dessert as I was so full, and our server felt so bad that they didn't have to go options. Good selection of items and drinks.

What a cool place! We had the Vintage Mac and cheese and it was outstanding. Great cocktails and nice pint of beer. We say upstairs and the bartender was so friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend checking out this historic pub.
