In late 2006 the Paradise Bar, formerly on this site, was completely refurbished and the Royal Albert opened in its place. It is exactly the kind of smart pub that New Cross has been missing: an assortment of odd furniture, Belgian beer in the fridge, taxidermy in glass cases and mood music. The funky furnishings and friendly service pull in the mix of young locals and students that you might expect round here. One minor gripe was that the bar ran out of London Pride early on a Saturday evening, but it's early days here so we'll be forgiving. Recommending a place to meet up in New Cross often induces a bout of chin-stroking and consternation; the Royal Albert's appearance should remedy that.
