Prince Albert

Site of The Prince Albert

Picture source: T C


The Prince Albert was situated at 290 Golders Green Road. This pub was known as the Prince Albert Harvester and closed c1995. It was demolished in 1995.

My husband and I went to this huge great pub on our first date in October 1973.  It was a jazz pub then with a terrific atmosphere.  The night we were there the actor Ian Hendry (one of those great character actors – remember Get Carter) was in the audience really enjoying himself.  Apparently he was a regular visitor who enjoyed the jazz along with many other colourful characters. The food was great too, but then of course this was a very long time ago.

I used to go there in spring 1995 with friends. Possibly in autumn 1994 too. Not very often as I do not drink alcohol and felt a bit awkward as everybody else had wine (I believe) while I had orange juice. I liked the atmosphere of the place anyway. My friend live in Hendon at the time and so I ended up in Hendon too. She showed me this pub, and I showed her -- on the map -- that it was actually faster to walk there than to take the tube. I wanted to revisit the Harvester a few years later and was shocked to see it was gone.

Bob Gaddes 1973/1974 For Willy,Alan,Dave and myself -this was our 'local'. We would be that group crowded in the little alcove to the right as you tried to get in. I remember with fondness the barmaids especially Louise. A Harvester - what a travesty. this building had character for goodness sake, reinforced by the memories of many previous satisfied customers - of which I count myself one.
