Four minutes' walk from Hyde Park's south side, ALBA London is where a long morning in the park becomes a long Italian afternoon. Handmade pasta, an oyster and seafood bar, signature pizza and wood-fired specialities on Brompton Road. Open daily from 12pm.
From the Park To the Table
Hyde Park's southern boundary runs along Knightsbridge, and ALBA London sits four minutes' walk south of it, on Brompton Road. After a Sunday in the park, a morning run, an afternoon at the Serpentine or a Speakers' Corner detour, ALBA is the natural next stop. Open from 12pm daily.
The Walk From Hyde Park to ALBA
From the Serpentine: 6 minutes via the South Carriage Drive exit. From Speakers' Corner: 20 minutes south through the park. From Hyde Park Corner: 11 minutes west along Knightsbridge.
What to Order After a Long Walk
We're open from 12pm every day. Many post-park guests start with a glass of Prosecco at the bar before ordering. The set lunch is designed for guests on a schedule. The ALBA Pizza, handmade pasta and the daily oyster and seafood display are the most-ordered items.
A Note for Runners and Walkers
We have a small luggage hold and welcome guests arriving in walking gear (though most change before lunch - there are good options on Sloane Street if needed). For a post-run table, our front of house will usually find you a corner seat at the bar without a booking.
ALBA is also an easy walk for guests coming from the V&A, from Chelsea, from Belgravia and from the Royal Albert Hall.
