I enjoyed the Crown a lot. It's much bigger than the photo suggests - it's an L shaped room extending to the right of the photo and at the end of the L there is a further room. Plenty of pleasant seating and a mixed crowd when I was in on a Thursday evening. Three or four beers on offer including Brains and something called Right Flanker. Music on in the background but not intrusive.

The pub was busy but not unpleasantly so and I found it (along with the Sekforde) to be pretty much the best in the area.

One of the nicest and best beer pubs in London. A superb setting for a film or tv play too. Great outside area for smoke, talk and snooze in the cool, cool cool of the evening.

I haven't been in here for a good few years and since I was passing by, and a bit dodgey on the legs walking up the hill from Farringdon road, thought it a good enough reason to drop in. The place certainly has been improved for the better; well painted,clean,light and airey. Now aimed more towards food as a Pub diner,from what one could see, looked good. And very well populated by punters. On the Ale front, I sampled both a pint of Nosey Parker and Tom Foolery. Very nice. Bar staff,very pleasant and on the ball. Pleasant seating area outside to sit outside and watch the world go by;or plan the revolution. Lenin and Stalin would have known, and quite possibly have used this place when they stayed around the corner a century ago. Enjoy; a very good beer bar.

Gave this place a go based on a personal recommendation and was pretty pleased with it from a drinkers point of view.

There were a couple of quite interesting ales on offer, along with an impressive selection of overseas and continental beers. My ale (one which I hadn't tried before) was in excellent condition.

The pub interior is quite airy and spacious, with a relaxed atmosphere on my Friday evening visit. It was busy though, I ended up with a small section of shelf to myself but nevermind, it was a Friday after all...

As I usually stick to scoffing Subways when I'm out and about on pub crawls, I can't pass comment on the standard of the food.

Would recommend this place on the strength of my visit and will make a point of going in there again soon.

having just seen the comments in here , Looks like a continued theme here, I met a mate who works nearby in here and we witnessed 2 females being told that the pub is not a "fast food" outlet. the girls said they had been waiting 35 minutes. now I dont know but 35 minutes seems a bit long. esp when the place wasnt that busy. we had had a burger king meal on the way home, now that was fast food. whoever owns this place needs to look carefully at how much trade is being lost due to bad service and rude staff. beer was in good condition , cant remember what we drank..
