Hands down one of the finest dining experiences in London! A quaint little diner in Richmond street that we've been longing to pay a visit to, and when we did, we had an unforgettable experience. First off, the service was pleasant and fast. We kinda planned what to order beforehand, so we straightaway placed it.
Coming to the food, we ordered
Chipotle Burrito: 5/5- Delicious, the wrap was fresh and the chicken yummy.
Veggie Perogies: 4/5- I never had perogies before, so wanted to give them a try and they were good.
Cheese Grilled Sandwich: 5/5- simple and perfect.
We took fries and rice for sides along with the main dishes and the fries were fantastic.
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Milkshake (this place is famed for its milkshakes): Couldn't get enough of them. Insanely thick and perfect.
Red wine was good.
Couldn't try their peanut Butter Wally burger as we're completely satiated by that time. Can't wait to go back and try that one!
This is a charming diner. Nice decor. Good diner food with daily specials. Milkshakes are a must. The food wont be on a diet plan but itvwill be delicious going in!
This is a great go-to diner when in London. Delicious breakfast menu options, and lots of good burger choices for lunch and dinner. We’ve eaten here many times but I still have never ventured for anything other than a new burger choice. Classic burgers, hot pepper burgers, peanut butter on a burger, all great. Milkshakes are incredible too (and are well known to locals) and they also have limited bottled beer options. Staff have always been friendly and efficient. Highly recommended.
It's hard to get an actual good 'Diner-style' burger these days, but Prince Albert's delivers! Their burgers look like thin, classic, 'smash burgers' and they have plenty of flavour as you'd expect.
Of course, this place is famous for their peanut butter burger, which tastes good, but which I found to be a bit heavy.
Fair prices, classic decor, and friendly staff.
Tried this out for the first time this weekend and was very favourably impressed. The pub is down a quiet street just opposite the canal (though without a view of it). The tap selection is excellent, with a few beers I had never heard of before and an old favourite, rarely seen in London, the excellent Castle Rock (Nottingham) Harvest Pale, which might the quintessential summer ale--I wouldn't know, since I tend to drink it all the year round.
The space has excellent "corner karma" and is very light and airy inside, with a combination of large windows, comfortable couches, and the typical pub stools and tables.
Went to Prince Al's for dinner and decided to try something new- the Monte Cristo sandwich. Meh. I was frustrated with myself since there are SO MANY great things on the menu (burgers, Wally burger, perogies, etc.). Definitely hitting this place again- but will be smart and not re-order the Monte Cristo.

A diner is defined as a railroad car or one shaped like a railroad car for dining. Prince Albert is an excellent example of this definition. Situated in a now crowded restaurant area in downtown London this quaint diner has been around for over 45 years and is a busy student hangout when school is in session. Locals know the best time to go here is the summer. It has appeared twice on a popular national food show and usually ranks in the top 10 in London on all the food sites.
The interior is clean and the look both in the seats and on the walls is very retro.
It was about 2/3 full when we arrived and we had menus and our orders taken within 15 minutes. There are so many choices on the menus that a little extra time is appreciated. I had their famous Wally Burger which is a burger with onions and lettuce slathered with peanut butter. Absolutely fabulous! Also had their great fresh cut fries and topped it off with one of their famous milk shakes. You owe it to yourself to have a shake! Partner had liver and bacon and house salad with house dressing accompanied with fresh cut fries. She gave a thumbs up to her entire meal. This place has it all including fair prices. Is it the best in London? There are so many sub categories of good eating places in this city I am unsure you can pick one as overall best. But, this is definitely the best diner in the entire London area. Try it you'll like it!
Been here a few times with colleagues. Had the burritos, perogies, burger, fries and rice. Sides are well seasoned. Mains aren't big but decent sized. Taste is good, service is good. Overall, decent place where its nice to go eat.
Went into London for the weekend, and how could I not visit dear old Prince Alby's, which holds a special place in my heart? Brought me back to my undergrad days as a Western student — those late-night fries and milkshakes will never be forgotten. You get good greasy diner food here, and the staff and atmosphere transport you back to another era. I hope they stay in business for years to come!
Pretty good food, although I've tried some busts there - chicken souvlaki is not my favorite at all, but their burgers are good. Overall the place has a nice atmosphere and decent food, fairly priced.
Good food and varied menu. Service could improve. The burrito was more of a wrap but it was tasty. The burger was good and a decent portion, fries were okay. The milkshake was bold and flavourful. The place is welcoming and street parking is free on Sundays.
Being new to London, I was relatively unaware of how good this place is. Went there to try it out once before it closed down. There was a lineup to go inside (Sunday lunch) but it was so worth it! The place has a nice vibe and the servers are friendly. Food was amazing and the portion sizes were big! We had a veggie thai burrito and a bonanza burger. To top it all, milkshakes were so filling and amazing! The prices were quite reasonable given the portion sizes. Might go back once more before it closes!
This is second time here and it did not fail to impress me. First time I came here, I had myself the Fat Albert (double patty, bacon, cheese) Burger and it was a fantastic (non frozen) burger. The portions are fair and the prices are great.
Today, I took the risk trying their Wally Burger. The picture is in the attachment. And I was surprised that peanut butter and bacon go well together. This burger is what Prince Albert's Dinner is known for and I'm glad I tried it.
A friend of mine tried their foot long with rice. He said he was very happy with his purchase and it got the spot.
Definitely, a great ma and pa diner to visit.
Old school Diner type restaurant with great food at great prices. Always busy but the service is fast and friendly.
This place was featured on a show called "You gotta eat here", and for good reason. The food is always well made, good quality and served fast.
It seems like a small space but they turn the tables quickly without making people feel rushed.
If there's a line up its definitely worth the wait.
A second visit and still good! Smoothies are too sweet and creamy for me but friends like it a lot.
Ambience
A Friendly and casual atmosphere. The staff are not overbearing neither do they hover at all and you can have an uninterrupted conversation. The Staff always smile and are very friendly.
Food and Drink
I ordered
1. A Wally Burger + side upgrade to Caesar salad
- Love the concept, the portion size was too small for me. The size of the burger was a size small for me. The seasoning and taste of the meat was good not great.
2. Strawberry-banana milkshake
- Good balance of strawberry and banana, not too heavy and just the right amount.
3. A Green tea
- Served with a green tea bag in a pot. And obviously hot water refills are free.
Cost (4 out of 5)
A bit above average for the quantity and quality but nonetheless an enjoyable experience. A Wally Burger + side upgrade to Caesar salad + Strawberry-banana milkshake + a green tea = around $25
What is it good for
One on one casual meetings or a group of 4 people. Seating would be comfortable enough for 4 people.
After a night out on the row, this is the spot to go. Open late for all your drunk munchies, the food here is good and there’s a lot to pick from. Definitely a London staple for late night food. Garlic chicken burrito never disappoints 💯
Ordered a poutine from here and it was absolutely delicious, service was very kind and quick even though they seemed quite busy.
Looking forward to coming back!
Order: Poutine well done, extra gravy.
It's like a time machine. Stepping through the doors, you get taken back a few decades. It's too bad the place is so small, as it can fill up quickly and often.
The food here is good, typical diner fare. The main event here is by far the milkshakes. A must do here!
Great family run dinner good dinner food with character and a diverse menus. hamburgers, Burrito, classics like real Turkey clubs, Liver and Onions homemade milk shakes that are really just great. Prices are fair open often and open late most nights until 3am. A staple in downtown London
