Situated in the heart of Southwark, a five-minute walk from Elephant & Castle, and an eight-minute walk from Southwark Underground Station, The Albert Arms, once named The Victoria and The Albert, was split into two pubs.

So be prepared to give out a lot of strokes and cuddles when you’re there!

Spit & Sawdust

21 Bartholomew St, SE1 4AL

Opening Monday to Friday from 4 pm to 11 pm. Saturdays 12 pm to 12 am, and Sundays from 12 pm to 11 pm. The Spit and Sawdust underwent a refurbishment in 2016 and now rebrands as a traditional London boozer with a contemporary twist.

Southall

The Plough, Norwood Green

10 Tentelow Ln, Southall UB2 4LG

The Plough has some of the best beers in London; it even features in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. It’s also the oldest pub in Southall. It was built in 1349 to give the workers building St Mary’s Church across the road somewhere to stay. 

No matter what day or time you go, The Plough always has a lovely atmosphere and welcomes dogs as if they were their own! The food is just as good as the beer, but if you’re a serious ale or craft beer drinker, you need to visit this pub; you won’t regret it. You might not remember it, but you won’t regret it.
