We went to this lovely little pub in the heart of London over the weekend and must say we were treated with good old fashioned hospitality. The landlady and landlord were in attendance and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. It is obvious they love what they do and are very proud of the company they work for and the products they sell. We are big Sam Smith's fans and despite the price increases, £2.71 for a pint of ale is still a steal in the big smoke! We recommend The Crown to anyone who just doesn't want to be another number - it's like Cheers - where everybody knows your name. What a brilliant atmosphere and we will be back this coming weekend. Top marks to Team Crown!

Bounded into The Crown at 6.59 on 02/03/12 accompanied by my new Belgian friends Jens and Benard. SUBLIME half of Old Brewery Bitter in convivial surroundings. My rating of 10/10 remains!

The reviewer below is correct ,this is a regular haunt of mine and Angela and Ron (new landlords) are a delight.
The usual Sam Smiths stuff ,well kept ale,great prices for this part of town and a good mix of clients such as students,nutty proffesors,suits,thearte goers from some northern mining village and some very pretty girls.
Bar staff are friendly and superbly efficent as it gets rammed on a Friday evening but you will still get served,lovely small terrace to the rear with a few seats.
Best pub and far and away the best landlords in this part of town,
you should go there!!

I happen to know that a new landlord and landlady will be taking over this pub this week and they used to be where I currently drink and I can say the punters there are very lucky as they will get a good pint and very honest to goodness tasty grub from now on All the best Ange and Ron and good luck for the future

I often frequent sam smiths pubs but after last week I wont be going to the crown again. I was having a delightful evening enjoying the beer (although not the price increase) and the food up until the end of the evening. When it came to the end of the evening and kicking out time the member of staff so keen to get everyone out the door was incredibly rude! I dont know if he was management or not (tall dark haired youngish and irish) but the force he was trying to rush people out the door with no forewarning and sweeping your full pints away from your table in between sips made me incredibly irate. After a nice evening in the pub that particular bar man and his attitude put me off frequenting that establishment again and ruined a nice evening.
