Residential court just off Piccadilly,built in 1775,divided in 1810. Individual flats are known as "sets".Described by Marmion Savage as "the haunt of bachelors, or of married men who try to lead bachelors' lives - the dread of suspicious wives, the retreat of superannuated fops, the hospital for incurable oddities, a cluster of solitudes for social hermits, the home of homeless gentlemen, the diner-out and diner-in, the place for the fashionable thrifty, the luxurious lonely, and lovers of mutton-chops."
Terence Stamp, Isaiah Berlin, Lord Byron, Alan Clark and Edward Heath number amongst Albany's former residents.
