We couldn't help but be totally obsessed with The Albert, a four-story Victorian-style building constructed of yellow and red brick with stucco trimming.
This was the site of an earlier pub, The Blue Coat Boy, which was first recorded in 1831. It was then purchased for £978 by Joseph Carter Wood, owner of the Artillery Brewery who rebuilt it between 1862-1867. The pub was renamed The Albert as a tribute to Queen Victoria's husband, Albert.
The pub survived "The Blitz" during World War II, with its façade and Victorian features untouched. Some of its original features still renaming are the ornate ceilings, hand-etched frosted glass windows, and wrought-iron balconies. The Albert offers an array of cask ales and beers, including their very own 1730 Special Pale Ale, London Glory, and Green King IPA. The Albert Pub is really the Gem of Victoria Street.
Ps. You NEED to get their Mac & Cheese. Also, don't share it because sharing your mac & cheese when it's that good sucks!
