A secret oasis in Bloomsbury with great ales, award winning burgers, gorgeous function rooms and a late licence. Call in and see us!
A PUBLIC HOUSE REIMAGINGED. WE WANTED TO CREATE A WELCOMING ATMOSPHERE AND OFFER GREAT FOOD AND DRINKS INTO WEE HOURS IN A BUILDING THAT HAS SERVED LONDON SINCE 1851 .
The Old Crown is a unique building located on the corner of Museum Street and New Oxford Street. The pub dates back to 1851 years and has a character all of its own. The venue is open to the public on 3 floors all of which have a different vibe to them. The Old Crown is a whimsical escape from the busy streets that surround and once you come in you get the impression it has offered this for quite some time.
You can find reference to The Old Crown in Hogarth's famous Beer Street & Gin Lane from 1751. The spire of St Gile's church is just on the opposite side of the street - so it is fair to say we have some heritage when it comes to serving a libation or two.

Didn't eat here hence the one star as we just popped in for a drink. Always nice to find and check out a new boozer and this one on the fringes of Bloomsbury doesn't disappoint. Friendly service and a nice selection of beers. The place was pretty busy for an early afternoon and had a varied mix of people including young families which is always a good sign. Definitely worth checking out.
Nice place to hang with friends. Menu isn’t substantial so don’t expect a proper meal. They only have some Mexican tacos and quesadillas as small bites. We ordered the drinks special - 2 for 1.
Close to both the British Museum and the Holborn Station. A brilliant selection of beers to try before buying and outside seats.
This place is an absolute dream for vegans! I was almost overwhelmed by the menu, and frankly I'd order one of everything if I could possibly eat that much. Beyond the food, the prices are more than fair and the staff is super friendly. Lastly, it's a beautiful and cozy establishment. I have been to many nice pubs in my time, but this has to be my favourite.
