^this. There’s that new sculpture in the Serpentine lake, plus this year’s summer pavilion has just opened.

Hi, I work just opposite the RAH. The beer selection is fucking shit around here. Within walking distance, the only place I can recommend is the Mall Tavern.

^This is a tricky one as there are very few pub options near The Albert Hall - something to do with the area originally being developed by members of The Temperance Movement I believe. That said, if you’ve got a bit of time on your hands I would take a wander along the south side of Hyde Park and take a couple of jars in this gaff which is bloody lovely:

Yeah. University and my first job was around South Kensington. Crap area for pubs. Maybe look for stuff happening a few tubes stops away from The Royal Albert Hall.

(My token joke answer would be to go to Camden Market and buy a t-shirt with words on it.)

No probs man! Quite a few nice boozers up near Lancaster Gate if you’re gonna have a wander through Hyde Park. Enjoy NiN!

Can you tell me of these, please? Work by Lancaster Gate and all my post-work pub trips have been lacking.

I quite like the Mitre, good for a quiet pint and a read as per the op but maybe a bit too old man for post-work? Tables out the front are nice.

Ah fair, the only times I’ve used it are for pre-drinks when only the smaller rooms at the RAH are being used.

Cute little spot, but I can imagine it being a nightmare when packed.

My usual pre-Albert Hall pub is The Queens Arms, but that’s more for geographical reasons than because it’s a great pub. It’s not a bad pub though.

The only thing that could have dragged me to London recently was the Richard Long exhibition at the Lisson Gallery, but that closes this Saturday, which is no help to you.

Ah, the Mitre. I’ve had many, many pints there. I had some friends who used to live round the corner, so it was their local, so I’d stop by every time I came into town for a gig.

Came in to recommend this place. As @Petagno says it does get very busy on gig nights - but if you get there early enough you should be able to grab a seat.
