The Prince Albert, Angel, Islington

A friendly, civilised pub that bucks the trend: no blaring music and shouted conversations; no surly, indifferent staff; beer and food that tastes damn good; and no rip-off prices. How many pubs have copies of �The Elegant Universe� and �The Tools of Philosophy� scattered around its browsing shelves? There�s �Private Eye� in the magazine rack and a collection of unusual indoor/board games. The Pub Philosophy talks-discussions on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month are a delight, as is the clarinet/guitar jazz duo on Friday evenings.

This is a place for beer, food & conversation and a great spot for a leisurely lunch.
