The Prince Albert, it's a nice pub but it has an immature attitude towards customers with children. Had a nice meal in there with my friend, midweek, early afternoon , out in the garden. We loved it, especially her, just a few hours break from a demanding toddler.
The sister babysitter has her own life and children and needed to drop this two year old back with her mother and me. We did try to ask beforehand what the policy was but the response was not clear, i only heard it at second hand from the mother.

Anyway, I stayed in the garden while mother met sister to collect child. Delighted to see mother coming back with buggy baggage chatting to bar staff enroute. We are ok for a few minutes, just sorting ourselves out , planning our evening when we were followed into the garden by an apologetic member of staff that told my friend that children were not allowed and that we had to leave.

The bar staff are not to blame, we were not frog marched out of the pub, I insisted that we both took our time finishing drinks we had paid for in an orderly fashion and we were allowed to do so. On the way out the staff apologized to us and it was accepted with good grace.

But it left a bad taste in my mouth.

Quite unlikley that it is a lambeth imposed thing, when the licensing changed one of the changes was to allow children into pubs, if there is a condition it is probably there because the pub volunteered it but I doubt anyone would enforce this with young children during the day.
 
what's going on half way up Brixton Hill? Bus took an AGE to get up. Looked like police cordon outside Negril on the southbound side
