The Albion — Restaurant in London

Overall, the experience was pleasant. We booked a table to enjoy the footy over some food and drinks. The vibe was good and there were ample screens to watch the World Cup on. The food was delicious, but we did order a kg of chicken wings for the table only for about 6 to arrive and the waitress confirming this was correct. £26 for 6 chicken wings, really? Anyway, around 20 minutes later the waitress came back and confirmed that in fact the kitchen had got it wrong, and they were sending over some more chicken. For good measure she also threw in a free bucket of fries which was a nice gesture. Drinks were ordered with ease and the waitress that replaced one of the G&T's we ordered was really friendly and helpful. One waitress wasn't very welcoming, she wasn't as polite as main waitress who tended to us. My only other issue was that the lemonade dispenser was flat and tasted awful. For the most part we enjoyed...

Will definitely go pay a visit next times we're in London.

As a regular commuter to/from City Thameslink, I’ve seen this pub for many years but never popped in before today (April 2024).

More of a sports bar than I expected, with large screens on two levels. Nevertheless, an attractive space with light wood flooring and surroundings. A large selection of craft beers and lagers available, also Young’s and Adnams cask ales.

Staff were really friendly and helpful. There are very few pubs in the area with space out front, and it quickly filled up with after work drinkers. I’m not a fan of pubs dominated by sports screens but they serve a purpose. I will, however, return for a quick after work beer or two before...
