The Crown (The Seven Dials - London)

The Crown

A heaving gang of people stand outside this pub on a friday night. The place itself is so small it would never hold such a stronghold of city media types. A bouncer stands around policing the crowd to snuggley fit on the pavement behind an invisible line - where, once past you cannot locomote with pint in hand. The actual venue is a cramped bar with traditional-low ceiling drinks dispensery to the left hand side on the way in. Around it is a spread of small chairs and tables with toilets at the end. The place is simplistic but apprently is only popular due to location, which is is no direct sight of any public transport although is easy enough to get to if you know where you are going.

Without the crowd its quiet, old and small and offers nothing but as a drinking establishment by a landmark to make it special and with covent garden prices its not the first place or even the 100th you normally consider for that night out - 3/10
