You can hardly get a better address in the British capital than Albany. And the endless stories of former residents – from prime ministers and writers, to actors and royals – would certainly provide enough material for a period television drama. Now the British luxury goods brand Dunhill has named a collection after the address, described as ‘quintessentially British’. We can imagine the oxblood-coloured document holder in the back seat of a casually parked Aston Martin DB6 in front of the Albany gates only too well. London is our perfect city.
