Located in Kingston upon Thames KT2 5 Map, The Albany holds an allure that transcends time, and is a place where Sir William Fraser comes alive through his caricature litho, and Lord Beaconsfield and Monty Corry are forever immortalized on canvas. One cannot help but be enchanted by the famous covered way known as "The Rope Walk.
