The Crown Public House

The Crown public house, dating from the late 19th century, is located in Islington. It is constructed of yellow brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with dressings of red brick, stone, and terracotta. The building is three storeys high, with a basement, and has four windows facing Cloudesley Road and three facing Cloudesley Square, which are the principal elevations. The design is in the Queen Anne style.

The pub frontage on Cloudesley Road is framed by Corinthian pilasters of grey and pink polished granite. There are two entrances on Cloudesley Square; the left one leads to a saloon bar, with panelled doors and engraved glass, while the right one is no longer in use. A chamfered corner entrance has a scrolled pediment and double panelled doors engraved "THE CROWN." The Cloudesley Road entrance has been altered. The ground-floor windows have flat arches with engraved glass in the lower panels and small toplights. A fascia and dentil cornice are present, along with red brick quoins on the upper floors. First-floor windows have segmental arches with gauged red brick heads under a linking cornice. Second-floor windows have aprons, a sill band, and flat-arched heads, all made of gauged red brick. The building features a frieze of gauged red brick with festoons in terracotta panels, a dentil cornice, and an external stack on Cloudesley Square with an ogee profile and panels of red herringbone brick. A parapet completes the exterior.

The interior includes features potentially dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, such as a panelled dado, moulded and glazed tile panels and frieze, a relief-moulded ceiling, an island bar front, and glazed screens. These features may be original or replacements.
