The Prince Albert

Head down Coldharbour Lane and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that doesn't try too hard. The Prince Albert feels genuinely lived-in – sticky floors included – and there's something refreshing about that in an area that's increasingly polished. You'll get a proper pint here, Greene King's range is solid, and the food's no afterthought: think decent burgers, pies and pub standards that don't disappoint. It's the sort of place where you genuinely might bump into the same faces, especially if you're a regular.
