The Albert Association

The Albert Association was founded in 1970. Its goal is to promote the common interests of the residents of Gladstone Street and Colnbrook Street in London SE1, plus the properties in St George's Road which lie between these two streets. Together these make up the 'Albert Triangle.' We work to improve our environment, facilities and amenities. The Association is managed by a Committee made up of the Chairman, the Honorary Secretary, the Honorary Treasurer, and four other members. The Committee is elected at the Annual General Meeting.

"I appreciate the guys in the corner shop work all day every day to give us what we need - and the fact that no-one on the street has ever complained about the noise my children make when going to buy sweets early every weekend morning!"
