The Winchester – Duke of Albany, Monson Road

In the film

The Winchester, the pub at the heart of the film. Shaun and Ed drink here at the start, and it becomes the group’s last refuge when they barricade themselves in for the siege finale.

History in brief

The building was the Duke of Albany, a Victorian corner pub at 39 Monson Road in New Cross Gate, south-east London. The film moved it in spirit to north London, where the rest of the story is set, but the real pub is on the other side of the Thames. It has since closed and been converted into flats.

The place today

Private flats now; view the frontage from the street only.
