My partner and I had our first date in this pub a few years ago, so that's one reason I'm biased towards it but I had been going there for a while before this and continue to visit this lovely little pub. The food is good value for money pub-grub (particularly recommend the pie and chips!) - both the food and drinks are spectacularly cheap (yet decent quality!) for central London, compared to what's on offer around it. The pub is basic and traditional - wooden seats downstairs, with sofas and armchairs in the 'lounge' above, with a large outside seating area. The drinks are great value at just over £2 a pint of lager (it's a Sam Smiths pub). The staff are friendly and chatty, which gives it the 'local' feel. It does get busy after weekday business hours with local workers and then it can be hard to find a seat, but Fri and Sat evenings are good. The downside is that the toilets can get dirty and often run out of toilet paper when it is busy as there are only 2 cubicles in the Ladies' loo.]]> Fri, 05 Sep 2008 14:39:25 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1g81x7m/the-crown/1n8j472045767410 CPaskell 51.516518620413 -0.12781855470281
