The Albion in City of London, Westminster

Nice pub, went there to watch the football, Quite a few screens downstairs. Lively pub and the food was good too. Will visit again.

Went for a work Christmas lunch. They were very accomodating, food was excellent. It was very busy but that's not a bad thing for a pub

Loved it. Have a good stick. Would come again. But also expensive

I had a very pleasant experience here with my 12-year-old son. As visitors to the city, we wanted to have lunch at a pub near the Tate Modern that would be showing sports on the screens. The staff responded to my email straight away and made the booking. The service on site was equally good, as was the food. Although sports matches were indeed being broadcast on the screens, the atmosphere was very family-friendly, and among the patrons there were several families with young children, even babies.

Watched All Blacks v Italy in this local pub. Excellent service, good atmosphere, excellent menu superior to any pub I’ve tried previously, plenty of GF options. Highly recommended. Good sized screens for sporting events.

We had an event for ~50+ people at the Albion. I must say I was extremely pleased with the experience. Matt and his team are amazing hosts- the service, food & drinks was brilliant as well. We're definitely considering Albion for our next events & it is a good pub for a quick pint too. Thanks guys for hosting us!

Booked this pub for a rugby match. First time there & will definitely be back. Had a table upstairs & it was perfect. Really nice food too & good service.

Good pub, good beer. What more do you want?

Another great of a Young’s boozer. Me and my mates went to watch the football. Great service, awesome food - burgers and chicken wings were amazing - and right near Blackfriars and city thameslink stations so couldn’t be more convenient. Will defo be going back

Great fun here. Loved the upstairs as it was quiet and easy to "talk all night." Steak was amazing!

Stayed close by on a trip to London and I was fortunate enough to be able to stop by the Albion a few times. The pub had a great atmosphere and the food was delicious. The service was amazing, the staff were so friendly and helpful.

Been there during the first weekend of Sept. 2024 while on a "romantic extended-weekend getaway" We had a great time enjoying their food (fish & chips and fried bites were awesome) as well as the tap beer of course, *and* the crowd ! Got to meet very friendly people hanging out there, including staff (*) - the whole mix of the above-mentioned ingredients definitely turned our night out into a great memory ! Will definitely go pay a visit next times we're in London. (*) if you read this and stop by the Albion to try it for yourself ; please look around and find the viking-looking guy behind the bar → here's a secret code for you to tell him : [Mom I missed the plane again]. ;)

Great food and friendly service, thanks for the recommandations guys !

First day reopened. Still bits of work going on. A bit more clinical than before but not jaw dropping. Barman was friendly and efficient. Not a fan of the Youngs but that's purely personal preference. Kept the sports screen which is a big plus in my book. Fondish memories of watching the 2023 Ashes in here.

A nice friendly pub, and an ideal place for a drink because it's right next door to a very good Indian restaurant.

Had my work farewell event for around 30 ppl on a thurs night, amazing atmosphere and spacious! Lighting and music were perfect and didn’t interfere with the conversations. Communication over email with the staff was very smooth and pleasant as well!

Great little pub playing Aussie rules, great craft beer

Fantastic pub if you want to watch sport and have a delicious pub meal. They show the AFL, Soccer (Football), Rugby and others. We watched the Euros here twice. Food was very high quality and the prices were reasonable.

Watched football there, great atmosphere, the waiters and bar people were super friendly and quick even when the pub was very full. It was a really great English pub experience, highly recommended

Great place to watch a game. First rate bartenders. Fish and chips are solid.

Was there for the Scotland v Switzerland game and the atmosphere, food and service were all top class. It is now my venue of choice the next time I'm in London and want to watch a game.

A very nice comfortable pub with friendly staff and good ales

Well looked after when we went in to watch some sport. Great pub.

Great sports pub in the city! I popped in to watch the football and get a quick bite to eat. I had the arancini and spiced wings, and both were good. Vibes were good as well!

I came with some friends to watch the F1 this weekend and had a lovely day. The staff were kind and friendly and the food was great (highly recommend the fish and chips)! Also a plus - the pub is dog friendly!! Would totally come back!

I've watched a UCL match there. Food was great, service is perfect, very friendly staff. However, I have a suggestion. If they can change upstairs TV with bigger ones it will be great. Edit: since TV will be changed this summer I put 5 stars instead of 4.

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 matches start.

I booked The Albion specifically for the Champions League game. Real Madrid and Manchester City was on but I went there for Bayern v Arsenal game as a lone Bayern in there😮‍💨. TV screens on both floors. Good atmosphere. I will be going there for another Bayern game😉. My table was upstairs and uneven and I ended up spilling both drinks. My only complaint will being asked to order from an app for drinks or else the wait can be long if it’s packed.

Good for sports and dog friendly

Great pub, decently nice burgers

We went for dinner and had fish and chips and the hot dog, both were great, ordering on the app works well too

Nice pub, good atmosphere, friendly staff.

The best fish and chips I’ve had in London thus far!

Close to the metro exit, the food was excellent, the pudding was very delicious! Unfortunately we had a bad time with the girl at the checkout.

Booked a large table to see the six nations with friends. Great venue with decent screens and good beer. Well worth going.

Classic pub. Beer is £5.50 which is probably a normal price in London.

Very welcoming didnt try the food but what i saw being served looked great. Good beers on offer good atmosphere sport on tv 👍

Loved the food here, great spot to sit down for a nice pub lunch. Exactly the English pub experience I was looking for!

Great pub with excellent service and vibe. Fish n chips were so delish - they make their own mushie peas 🤤. Matt and Vittorio are super friendly. Stop by on your way through or plan a trip. 👍

Great Christmas party in the upstairs room at the Albion! They sorted everything for us from arrival drinks to food platters at a specified time! Can’t fault Sam and Roman the bartenders that kept the baby Guinness flowing all night :)

The Albion managed to accommodate our large Christmas party at the last minute. The atmosphere was great and a really nice venue upstairs to eat in. Considering it was a very busy time for them, they handled it well and service was good. The food was great, good wholesome pub food, everybody certainly enjoyed it. Maybe a couple more dessert options would have been nice but otherwise 100% would definitely recommend this place and would certainly go back.

It was excellent experience thanks to the kind staff. We went there to watch a sports game and the atmosphere was amazing.

We went to watch a sports game and the staff and atmosphere made us feel great.

Really good day out and very welcoming

Was alright. Not the greatest beer selection. UPDATE. I agree there is a decent selection of different tapped beers and ciders, I would like to stress that I am more referring to guest ales like Sours, Stouts etc from small brewers rather than from the big national breweries. So have updated my review to reflect this.

The experience was excellent from booking and reserving tables to serving drinks. Will be back soon. Thank you for a great evening. Highly recommended. Vito

A central pub with a small outdoor area with heaters. It's quite popular with the office workers around the area. Aside from the standard taps selection, they offer a range of typical pub food: fish and chips, burger, chicken wings, the likes. The food is quite nice but quite expensive 💸. It certainly is a valid Friday boozy lunch option. Pictured is the 1kg chicken wings plate. The sofa spots are good, if you can get them.

Quite place, strong smell of chips and vinegar (which is typical for a London pub) food was ok. Music was nice. Overall nice place to have couple of 🍺🍺🍺🍺.

Nice pub with some great original features and a good selection of beers. Plays sports and plenty of screens to watch. Food was good quality, basic pub grub

Perfectly good pub to watch the football on a Sunday afternoon. Screens in every direction, so you don't have to worry about where you sit

Why does a pub allow a young woman in a party of three to cause so much noise and mayhem through intoxication? You’re not supposed to just keep on selling to someone who’s drunk! The only respite we got was when she fell to the floor, sadly to arise again. Awful experience.

Dropped in for a couple of beers. Well kept and well served.

Great experience, all round. The booking was managed really well and the response time was always rapid, even when I emailed on the day to make a slight change. We went to watch the rugby world cup final. The bar staff upstairs were excellent! We also ordered the Buffalo wings (up there with the best wings in town, and massive too) and the sliders (great flavor and perfect size). All in all, a great night! The staff and food quality made it even better. Cheers guys!

Really good for sports and excellent service. Didn’t try the food

Great pub with multiple sports, good pub food, and a brilliant selection of beers

Best fish n chips ever, superiour mushy peas! 10th time in the UK over a span of 50 years, and this dish was stellar. Great service too.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and a good time watching the rugby, even if both games were dreadful. Will definitely be visiting again whether it's for sport or just to meet friends in town.

Pub bem mais ou menos… preços nada convidativos. Cerveja ok. Fish and chips beeem fraco. Batata parece q foi frita na gordura do peixe. Peixe muito fino e nada suculento. Além disso, o pub oferece reservas on-line, mas não confirma a reserva. Recebi uma mensagem dizendo que em pouco tempo eu receberia uma resposta acerca da minha reserva. Estou esperando até agora! Acabei desistindo de esperar a confirmação e fui para o pub mesmo assim… melhor se não tivesse ido…

Had my leaving drinks here for 25 people on 28/09/23. Incredible service from start to finish and a really great atmosphere. Huge thanks to all the bar team working that night. Really appreciated all their hard work and friendliness. Barely any wait to be served at the bar and it was a really fun night!

We were unfortunate that there were no platters available from the food menu which made food choices for our group very limited.

Tried to order food 5 minutes before the kitchen closed and didn’t let me. That is the point of having a closing time if you don’t even bother to respect it? Will avoid coming here next time.

The food was great, lovely service and very nice area! They were very fast, and when requesting something they were very helpful! Very lovely pub

Amazing chicken burger on a busy and busy Sunday evening. Shame there weren't any banging beans but I'll be back to test them out :)

Vraiment c’était une super expérience ! Merci pour cette échange et cette sympathie je reviendrais vite chez vous

Good booze, good food, good people and shows sport and so close to the station! Give it a visit if you are in the area :)

If you advertise a foot long hot dog, and it’s at least 10cm shorter, you can’t be upset with a poor review.

Needed to find somewhere to view Lionesses world cup final. I'd emailed to book a table but dropped in to this small pub a couple of days before to see where we could sit for a good view; Ana couldn't have been more helpful, even though most of the place was already pre-booked. On the day, staff were pleasant and helpful. Food menu isn't extensive but all food was hot, generous portions and well-cooked. A very pleasant, old fashioned city pub.

Went to watch the Matilda’s vs Lionesses game. So easy to book, great atmosphere. Great food!

Fish and chips was delicious. Staff was friendly and helpful. Wide variaty of sport and many screens. Will be back

Nice pub, smaller than expected but had a nice quieter seating area upstairs, which was great for a chat and a meal.

Had 4 pints from here with some work colleagues was a nice pub , clean , quick service and they serve food here too

It is an okay pub. It was a shame they weren't showing the rugby as advertised, but the manager was nice and offered us a free drink to show his sympathy.

A really pleasant pub atmosphere just over the road from Blackfriars station. Staff were friendly and helpful and there was plenty of good beers to choose from. Food was as you’d expect from a pub. Nothing too fancy but was tasty and hit the spot. Exactly the sort of place I needed to rest after a long day travelling.

Awesome place would recommend for dinner and drinks with friends

A very warm welcome from the two gents behind the bar, a wonderful pub lunch and in this heat, great air conditioning!

Unbelievable DISGUSTING customer service!!!!!! This pub prefers only to cater to the locals and then thumb down, make fun of tourists like us that happened to walk in to this establishment to give them business! When something as a misunderstanding as trying to order a particular beer, only to get made fun of (and we caught on to their narcissism) instead of helping us out being polite and explaining to us how things are run and done! We could have visited any country in the world, but decided to come to the United Kingdom and this being our first night in town, and getting treated like this??? Absolutely humiliating and unacceptable. Never EVER again!

Thank you for hosting such a large group of us late on a Saturday when so many other places were closing. And thank you for putting on Eurovision with the sound!

This is our go-to pub for fútbol games, usually we come here on weekdays for the champions league. The atmosphere is friendly, beer is excellent and the 2nd floor is great if you want to book a table and watch along friends

Good bar with sports screens. Great service and decent Guinness

Friendly attentive staff. Good food. We booked and got a table in the bar not the up upstairs seating area, a little boisterous as four tv's and lots of football fans. Didn't do malibu!. Would use again.

One of the best places in the area to catch a football match. The small enviorment creates an electric enviroment for whatever team is playing. The fish and chips were quality. The bathrooms on the other hand were some of the worst I have seen in the city.

A lovely pub in the heart of Ludgate Circus with real ale , what’s not to love about it

Great food and a lovely atmosphere. Very reasonably priced food for London.

Food was really nice and staff are really friendly :)

Very nice exeperience! Good food, great drinks and amazing service!

Nice sports bar, we caught a game, shared some beer. The kitchen was open on a Sunday until 18.00, but we managed to catch it in time.

Nice clean bar latish on Good Friday. Not many people about but they had football and golf on TV. The staff were very friendly and accommodating- very happy for me to wonder about the place, even upstairs. The Guinness was excellent as was the Young's Special.

As a pub goes it was passable. The service was quite good but the food was dreadful. Do not go for the bangers and mash, more lumps than school custard.

Lovely pub, lovely food, helpful staff .

Went there and watched the Man United vs Newcastle match. Great atmosphere. Very good pint of Guiness.

Dropped in for drinks on a lunchtime. Friendly staff, fairly busy - not a suit in site which seemed unusual for a city pub but thats fine. A nice vibe and would return.

Vi var fire, der delte deres share-menu med 6 sliders og pommefritter. Smagte godt 🤗Her kommer mange lokale og vi var måske de eneste turister. Dejlig afslappet stemning i det fede publokale. Relativt lille sted. Men de har også et lokale mere ovenpå, der dog ikke var åbent da vi var der. Eneste minus, der lugter ikke særlig godt.

Good atmosphere and good selection of beers 🍻

I would not go back there agin after last night's experience. They ran out of bitter, would you believe?! Like a butcher's running out of meat. Also we ordered their burger. It took over 30 minutes to arrive. When it did, both the burger and fies were very cold, suggesting they had been waiting their for a while. Avoid!

Great pub! Cheerful, welcoming staff, smashing atmosphere for the games and a clearly well kept pint. I really appreciated the jalapeños on the Mac and cheese too, I look forward to eating more next time I’m here. My pub of choice out of all of them in the area.

Good Guiness and good customer service. The only issue was the toilet, broken seats and someone had broken the mirrors (non on the wall).

A good safe place to meet up with your friends, just about everything you need to drink. Not a quiet pub more of a shouting celebration place but that suits me.

Snooker on live ! The best sport pub in London.

Nice service, good food and beer

We held our Company Christmas party upstairs with a private room and bar. Staff, drinks and food all amazing
