Fantastic night Downstairs at the Albany for my 50th. Venue was brilliant. We had Rockaoke and it worked really well. Staff were friendly and helpful and Lucy on the bar was great. Food was also excellent.

Ellie and the venue staff were so helpful. They accommodated our requests and made planning a party a lot less stressful. The venue is in a great location for a central London party. Buffet was great, really nice food. Highly recommend for a private event.
