The Albion (Islington)

The Albion is a Georgian gem left over from a time when Islington was fields and farmland and where the regulars would take afternoon walks out of the city to visit this delightful inn. With its wisteria covered façade and log fires, The Albion provides the perfect location to entertain, relax and forget the stresses of modern life, combining a central Islington location, just off Upper Street, with a picturesque walled garden situated within the Barnsbury conservation area. Renowned for its delicious whole roast suckling pig and delightful rear bear garden, The Albion has become something of an Islington institution. Located on a small road in the heart of residential Barnsbury, this warm and appealing gastro-pub has been blessed with an impressively faithful Georgian restoration which showcases the place’s rickety floors, nostalgic wood-panelled walls and appealing mixture of varied chairs and tables. The French windows in the restaurant area open onto over 450 square metres of wisteria-filled English country garden – one of the best beer gardens in the area. At the heart of The Albion is a passion for food. The menu is all about seasonality and tradition. Many of the dishes have a sharing element for the whole family and groups up to ten people. There is a wide selection of lagers, beers, real ales and ciders, and the wine list has been developed to perfectly complements the food on offer.
