Welcome to The Albany

The Albany is a real river side pub with a difference, located just outside Thames Ditton on Queens Road and on the opposite side of the River Thames from Hampton Court Palace. The pub dates back to 1886 when it was the nestling home for a thriving theatrical community who had been driven from London’s West End.

For decades The Albany was the social centre of Thames Ditton; theatre in the winter and regattas in the summer – it was the place to be seen and enjoy fine wines and great food.

The Albany incorporates the values of traditional pub hospitality together with modern designs featuring stone fired ovens, log burning hearths, deep leather seating and spacious teak furniture.

The menu is simple but up-to-the-minute with lots of comfort appeal, homely things like pizzas, steaks and pasta in addition to some more global dishes to keep things lively. There are many ‘lighter’ and ‘smaller’ dishes to choose from when you only desire a light meal.

Our wine list contains a wide range of New and Old world wines that suit all occasions and styles, ranging from traditional Clarets to Pink Pinot Grigio. We also stock lots of Champagnes (from Lanson to Dom Perignon) when you wish to celebrate a special occasion or even make an ordinary occasion special!

Our well stocked bar has 10 different beers on tap ranging from perfectly chilled Continental lagers, to European speciality beers, as well as some of the finest cask ales the region offers.

The atmosphere at The Albany is relaxed, friendly and informal. The most important ingredient is the people who will look after you; you will love the warmth and hospitality that will make your visit a memorable one.
