Independent freehouse pub & garden in Crystal Palace.

The Alma has been at the heart of the Crystal Palace triangle for many years. Built in 1854, it is now a well established part of the south London & Crystal Palace eating & drinking scene. We're a relaxed and friendly pub with an amazing outside space, great reputation for quality service, food, craft beer, ales & wines.

Tucked away behind us is our huge beer garden, partially shaded in the summer and fully covered & heated in the winter.

We are passionate about pubs, people, food, wine & craft beer & we feel The Alma reflects this.

  • “Literally the pub of my dreams. The menu is many times better than pub food even needs to be”

    – Grace Dent, The Guardian.
