Stonch's Beer Blog: The Crown Tavern, Clerkenwell
Had some good times here last night with the London Ruby User Group.
About the pub: The Crown is, for me, one of the best pubs in Clerkenwell. A year ago I wouldn’t have said that. The pub has an upstairs room which once hosted music hall performances. It’s reputed to be the location of a meeting between Lenin and Stalin in 1905, when the former was editing Iskra from 37a Clerkenwell Green a few doors down and the latter was in town to suck up to some party elders.
