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.
