The Albert Tavern reopened on 2 June 2022 as one of Greene King's Hive pubs, the company's branded franchise model for community pubs. The sports TV and dartboard have been retained and 'pub grub' is served. The present building was opened in the late '60s, replacing the original which was destroyed by a flying bomb. The interior has subsequently been altered, leaving a one bar pub. Following a threat of closure in summer 2019 Croydon Council gave the pub Asset of Community Value status.
