| This fairly typical but little known West End pub is a bit tucked away in the back streets and easy to miss (I only found it by accident while looking another pub). The interior is quite formulaic but with some nice touches like the coloured glazing in the interior screens and bar frame. The latticed windows, gas lamp and bookcases give it a cosy, homely feel whilst the Thetare posters and old black and white photos of local landmarks remind you that you are still yards away from the bustling West End. The false Tongue & Groove ceiling makes the place a bit more intimate and there is a small snug beside the bar. 4 Ales on offer, all rather standard - Adnams, Green King IPA, Pride and Speckled Hen but reasonably priced for the area. The usual fruit & quiz machines, TV and cash machine are all present. The Three Crowns basically does everything to satisfy the generic punter without being exceptionally special but if you are looking for a place in the area but off the beaten track (just 4 reviews and 8 ratings in 5 years for a pub in the West End seems unbelieveable) and not generally packed to the rafters with tourists, you could do a lot worse than here.

| If you want just want a standard British pub in the heart of Picadilly, then this could be it. Not trying to be anything other than a boozer. Can be a good place to meet before or after theatre or as a bolt hole from the vast theme bars that surround it. pub_numpty - 24 Jul 2006 14:14 |

| I am an American beer lover, homebrewer etc. Just happened to stumble upon this pub on afternoon, The Three Crowns - St. James, and then considered myself very lucky. An sincere English gentlemen and businessman invited our party to sit at his table because of limited seating at that time. We then found out what how lucky we were to stumble into a pub that serves only "real ale". To help American's read this! If you do not understand what "real ale" is then you probably will not appreciate how rare "real ale" is. Real ale is delivered to the pub in English oak casks. It must be deliverered "fresh" after fermintation is almost complete. Then the beer sits at the pub for a few days at a slightly cooler cellar temperature for settling and final conditionining. Then the "Ale" is served at 55 degrees F thru a hand pump tap. This process is unique to the English heritage of brewing beer and has become more rare in recent years. The English gentlemen said their is not a pub simular to The Three Crowns, serving "real ale", within 5 kilometers. We were extremely lucky. The ales were outstanding, especially the stong ale. After an hour or so, 4 to 5 beers were down and we were happy Texans lost in London. The food was good too. Many thanks to the gentlemen who took care of us. We will be back someday.
