The Old Crown Public House occupies a prominent corner at 33 New Oxford Street, between the British Museum and Covent Garden. The Grade II listed pub dates from the mid nineteenth century and retains the character of a distinctive London building while serving the busy surrounding neighbourhood.
Food is available from the main bar, with a concise selection of pub favourites designed for a casual lunch or something substantial alongside a drink. Burgers, wings and other straightforward bar dishes reflect the kitchen’s current focus on Old Crown classics.
Drinks remain an important part of the experience, from beer and wine to an extensive cocktail list. The pub’s different floors have their own atmosphere: the main bar is warm and informal, while upper rooms provide quieter or more flexible settings for groups and events.
Late opening later in the week gives The Old Crown a livelier evening identity, while its central location also works for daytime visitors and after work meetings. Private gatherings can add canapés or arranged catering, supported by the venue’s larger kitchen and dedicated event spaces.
Address: 33 New Oxford Street, London WC1A 1BH, England
