Albion, The

Albion is located in Shoreditch and is a throwback to those good old days when you could enter a cafe, eat something light and tasty and take home some everyday items such as jams and preserves. This Boundary Street restaurant is more of an informal eatery and is located on the ground floor with pavement seating on good weather days. The shop provides serious cooks with essentials such as stocks and goose fat along with seasonal fruits and vegetables, while their bakery brings an extensive selection of breads, baguettes, rolls, pastries and cakes.

The food in the cafe is simple and unfussy, typically British and very delicious, and you could step inside for fish and chips, puddings, sandwiches and fruit pies or crumbles and satisfy your urge for comfort food of the best kind. Straightforward snacks feature in the late night menu, with kedgeree and Welsh rabbit or hot chocolate and shortbread. Coffees, teas, juices and English ales comprise the drinks list.
