About The Albert

One of Victoria's grandest surviving Victorian pubs, its ornate ceiling and red curtains matched by displays charting the British monarchy.

Built in 1862 and Grade II listed, the Albert is one of the most visually striking pubs left standing on Victoria Street, a thoroughfare otherwise dominated by mid-century office blocks. Its interior leans hard into Victorian grandeur — an intricately ornate ceiling, heavy red curtains, dark wood throughout — and it has become known among visitors for displays tracing the timeline of the British royal family, a short walk from Buckingham Palace. Oversized portions keep it popular with the Victoria commuter crowd.
