Compact cask-ale pub on Westow Hill, the quiet, grown-up start to a Palace matchday in the Triangle.
The spot
The Royal Albert is the quieter side of the Triangle. A compact room, a back bar that fills with regulars, cask ales kept properly and a steady conversation that does not get drowned out by screens. On a matchday it is where Palace fans who care about the pint go first.
Best moment to visit
Heads up: this is a pint pub, not a function room. Big rowdy groups belong elsewhere on the Hill.
