Welcome to The Crown & Sceptre.
A reimagined Kensington Olympia landmark where creativity, comfort, and community converge.
We aim to create a vibrant, inclusive, and community-driven venue that offers an exceptional guest experience. The Crown & Sceptre will be known for its dynamic music, innovative food and drink, warm hospitality, and a deep connection to its local community.
One of our signature concepts will be a series of "Mixer" events, creating social and professional gatherings for networking and relationship building, welcoming gatherings, quirky events, and eye-catching designs, all configured to foster connection, creativity, and enjoyment.
Under new management, we've changed this historic pub into a sanctuary for artists, locals, and travellers alike. Our mission is to provide a physically and psychologically safe space where everyone can have fun and feel welcome. Step into our inviting interiors adorned with modern artwork and eclectic décor. Our sun terrace and interior come alive with live music and DJ sets from a diverse range of artists, offering a vibrant backdrop for connection and inspiration.
Our sound system is Alcon’s, which, for those interested, is a high-quality system designed to produce crisp and clear sound when played at low volumes. That’s not to say that we don’t turn it up at certain times, but you can be certain of being able to listen to the music while having a chat and a laugh.
Just five minutes from us, Olympia London brings a new dynamic destination to the heart of West London, combining world-class exhibitions, entertainment, and lifestyle experiences all in one iconic venue. Currently undergoing a landmark transformation, Olympia London is now home to a growing collection of stylish restaurants, vibrant bars, boutique hotels, and even rooftop paddle courts for sport and socialising.
