We loved the whole vibe of The Crown Tavern and The Appollo Room was a perfect spot to house our gathering. The team were really helpful and we'll definitely return.

Pub · 15 guests · October 2022 · Clock Room

Booked for an NCT meet up, the room was warm & semi private. Easy to book and had the option of using booking deposit for a bar tab or have it refunded.

The baby change facility is only available in the Ladies loos, which is at the top of a staircase. It’d be nice to also have a change table in the mens, or at least one on the ground floor.

About The Crown Tavern

The Crown Tavern is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

The Crown Tavern is perfectly placed on the corner of Clerkenwell Green in bustling Farringdon. Take a seat with us and you could be sitting in the spot where Lenin and Stalin held a meeting in 1905. Or you may recognize our distinctive golden "Apollo Lounge" now upstairs, where scenes from the British film 'Notes on a Scandal', featuring Dame Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett, were filmed.

The Apollo Lounge - once a renowned concert hall - is spacious and bright, boasting original features and is available to hire for parties and events. We also have the Clock Room downstairs which is a smaller space to hire that has an open door space so we rope off for privacy.

This iconic London pub is the ideal spot to enjoy a pint of specialty beer and a plate of carefully sourced, home cooked pub food.
