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.

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.

Thanks for having us! The staff were very accommodating and super friendly, a great hit with our attendees. It was a nice place in an easy to find area. Good booze.
Prices were London-y so cant hold it against them really. I would say the room only just fit us 27 people and that was its upper limit.

About The Crown Tavern

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.
