About Crown
Old-school corner pub on the Seven Dials, with original tiled exterior, cask ales and bar menu.
This is an small near-200 years old ex-Friary Meux house on Seven Dials - formerly part of the notorious rookery of St Giles - where seven streets converge in the heart of 'Theatreland'. There are two drinking areas surrounding an island counter, and tables and chairs outside. The area was originally laid out by Thomas Neale in the 1690s at the centre of which is a (recently restored) pillar with sundials (count 'em!). The pub was re-built in 1834 and is Grade II listed. At one stage each of the seven apexes of Seven Dials housed a pub. The corner facade features a Taylor Walker clock.

We had a very good experience here. Not much knowledge of beer and so we asked for the bartender’s recommendation. He patiently introduced and generously to offer us the tasting. We enjoyed the relaxing moments and the beer much!

Obviously a great location, beer was good, service was ‘spot on’ a lovely barmaid called Sam looked after us and made us feel welcome, most impressively she showed a great work ethic, serving multiple customers at one time, while recognising those that were waiting. Even more important when there was no customers to be served she kept herself busy, cleaning, collecting glasses etc.. a breath of fresh air.. well done

Relatively small pub but has a nice lively atmosphere. Friendly service. Good place to chill out. Also show football.

Very bad experience ordering my sticky toffee pudding today. It supposed come with honeycomb ice cream not vanilla as it does show honeycomb ice cream on the menu with the sticky toffee pudding. I won't be coming back to the pub again. You should of told me before hand or otherwise I won't be complaining otherwise. The food was very tiny potion is not worth the money I paid for the dessert. The dessert was excellent 👌.

Late night drink after show. Bar staff had no idea how to open a bottle of wine or seen a waiters friend. That said very friendly & good selection
