Party Earth The Crown Review

The Scene

Situated on a bustling corner in Covent Garden opposite the landmark Seven Dials sundial pillar, The Crown is the epitome of a traditional English pub.

Covent Garden / Soho, London –

Situated on a bustling corner in Covent Garden opposite the landmark Seven Dials sundial pillar, The Crown is the epitome of a traditional English pub.

Wooden tables, heavy drapes, and a couple of gambling machines highlight the no-frills décor that pervades this simple drinking den, which caters to a diverse set of young professionals and a whole mess of tourists thanks to its prominent location.

The pub’s focus is squarely on serving an impressive selection of beers and a handful of wines from the center bar, where sightseers often settle in alongside the after-work crowd for some suds and people-watching.

The venue really comes alive during football matches and on sunny afternoons, when Tottenham Hotspur fans and local urbanites gather on the street to talk sports over a pint or two of cider and soak up some of London’s renowned outdoor pub scene.

Surrounded by boutiques, coffee shops, international eateries, and a cupcakery, The Crown is an ideal spot for ending the day or breaking up an afternoon of wandering in Covent Garden.

The Crown User Reviews

Joseph Williamson Feb 19, 2013 3.0 stars Port in a Storm Banks crumble, politicians lie, laws are changed and the status quo is ever changing - and if it all starts to feel exhausting, then you can take heart in knowing that in every way that matters, the Crown hasn't changed since Dickens and Rossetti walked the streets of Soho. On a warm night the patrons spill out of the cosy interior, drinking, smoking and arguing. Inside there is an excellent mix of standard pub goers - groups of students, couples, the City crowd, a few mysterious wayfarers. Drinks are reasonable and, for a pub outside of North London, the Guinness is excellent. You'll nearly always find somebody to talk to and even if you don't, nobody will bother you. Pubs like the Crown should be on every tourists list - it is nothing if not a fine example of a tradition that goes back to Shakespeare's ale houses and Keats' taverns ; a bunch of people sitting around drinking and talking. It can sometimes feel like there is not enough of it going on - the Crown will rekindle your faith.
