The Albion Islington

The Albion is a Georgian gem in the Barnsbury conservation area just off Upper Street — one of Islington's most characterful pubs, with a wisteria-covered façade, log fires, original wood panelling and a 450 sq m English country beer garden celebrated as one of the borough's finest. Part of the Noble Inns group: seasonal à la carte, charcoal-grilled dry-aged steaks, Sunday roasts until 9pm, a Bettina Schmid-designed private dining room and events.
