The Crown Tavern Clerkenwell

Description

A firm favourite in Clerkenwell, The Crown Tavern is an authentic local where you’ll find a classic British food menu and a well-stocked bar, offering a great selection of wines, craft ales and artisan spirits. 

This welcoming pub certainly isn’t short of a story or two. Lenin and Stalin held a meeting here in 1905 and the golden Apollo Lounge was one of the settings for the British film Notes on a Scandal

There are two function rooms if you’re planning an event or gathering, while the outdoor terrace to the front is the ideal spot for an alfresco lunch or a refreshing drink on a sunny day.

See you across the bar.

The Clock Room Private Room 20 30 - - -

The Clock Room is on the ground floor, at the rear of the pub and is a beautiful space.
You can sit in the spot where Lenin and Stalin held a meeting in 1905 under the old clock.
It is sectioned off with a traditional pub partition wall, creating a room that still feels private while maintaining an amazing pub atmosphere.

It’s located conveniently near the bar, and it’s close to our street side drinking area (if you feel like braving the brisk winter winds).
