Is The Crown pub worth a visit in 2026?
Which Crown do you mean, there are dozens in London; the one on Great Portland Street is a solid no-frills boozer, quiet before 5pm on weekdays.
The Crown on Blackfriars Road, different beast entirely.
Great Portland Street one, agree, though it fills up after office hours.
Best regular pastry meetups in London 2026
E5 Bakehouse, Tuesday mornings.
good shout. they've moved it to Wednesdays now though, 8.30 start, and you need to be in the queue by about 8.15 if u want a seat. the sourdough croissant is worth it imo.
tbh I've only ever gone on Saturdays, way quieter. do they still do the cardamom bun or has that changed?
the bakery's upstairs room, first Thursday monthly
is that the one with the folding tables by the window? went once and it was mostly home bakers swapping starter tips, not really a pastry thing. might've been a different night mind.
they also run a friday sourdough swap in the courtyard, bring ur starter & u get a loaf back
also worth knowing there's a monthly sunday session at their railway arches spot, usually a bigger turnout than the weekday ones
Second this, back room past the till.
Corner table by the pastry fridge, ask for Marco.
