The Old Crown, Archway
FancyaPint?'s review...
Our two visits here in ten years have both been truly awful, but we've spied the fact there has been a paint job and a change of emphasis. It doesn't bode well though, with some of the pub renamed to T.O.C and what appears to be a half-completed paint job. It is also advertising the Karl Marx Tea Rooms, so we'll go back soon and see if it can improve on its previous one pint rating.

This pub is my new local pub, very close to Highgate Village then Aechway. Sooo friendly and so International (the intire world is here!). The local residents and church goers are very funny and chill out.. drinking a lovely Barolo on those lazy Sundays afternoon with the best Roast in the Village and only £12.. !! (too cheap! don't tell the Landlady!)x

Having just moved to the area it's great to have somewhere like this on our doorstep. We enjoyed a lovely dining experience for Sunday lunch last weekend. The weather was beautiful and the Karl Marx Room and very spacious. The food was very good and plentiful and the service excellent. It is such a relief given there is nothing else in the area..

I was asked to try The Old Crown or TOC as they now call it. It's just been taken over and the new owners have painted it blue - very Highgate - NOT. But hey a pub's a pub and I wanted to try their beer, once I passed the motorbike infront of the doors I ventured into a weird place. The barman smiled and poured me a pint of their best bitter, it was ok maybe a little overpriced for the place. It's just very odd and rather shabby. I don't think they know what to do with it yet.
I'll come back in a few months 19th March 2009
