Rose & Crown, London

Operator: London Village Inns
199 Stoke Newington Church Street, Stoke Newington, London, N16 9ES (View on Google Map)

Close to historic Clissold House and park, this is the "gateway" to central Stoke Newington night-life. This inter-war former Truman's house retains many period features, including distinctive wood panelling which has led to its listing on CAMRA's Regional inventory of pub interiors.

En suite accommodation available. Popular and busy pub quiz on Tuesday nights - can be difficult to get a table if you are not playing. Has been known as such since 1612 but the original inns were on the east junction of Albion Rd and it moved to its present position in 1930 which probably goes a long way to explain the inter-war fabric.

Note - payment by card only, no cash.

Historic Interest

Grade II Listed The Rose and Crown public house, Stoke Newington, built in 1930-32 to the designs of A E Sewell for Trumans, Hanbury and Buxton Ltd is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * Architectural interest: an ambitious, architecturally accomplished Neo-Georgian design by Truman’s principal architect, A E Sewell, who has a number of listed public houses of this date to his name; * Materials: the skilful deployment of good quality materials to the exterior, including iron work by Morris Singer Co.; * Interior: the clear legibility of Sewell’s sophisticated plan-form and survival of important features including the servery counters, bar-back, Vitrolite ceiling, timber panelling, fireplaces and lighting; * Group value: with numerous listed buildings including the Grade II* Church of St Mary and the Grade II Town Hall.

Two star - A pub interior of very special national historic interest

Listed status: II

Truman's pub of 1934. Internally it still has a good feel of the 1930s layout since the screens dividing the various rooms survive in their upper parts. The panelling is in classic Truman’s style of the 1930s, as are the light-cream-coloured Vitrolite panels in the ceiling, advertising lettering on the panelling naming some of the brewery’s offerings, and the overmantels with Truman’s mirrors inserts. The chequered spittoon trough, and doors in the bar counter to get at the beer engines are also original features.

General information about historic pub interiors

An ambitious Truman’s pub of 1934 that sweeps elegantly round a corner. Exterior features to note are the lamps, a pair of fine metal inn signs, and glazed shop-window to display wares from the former off-licence. You can also trace the sequence of original rooms in the metal signs over the doors: right to left – public bar, private bar, outdoor sales, saloon and lounge. Internally there is still a good feel of the 1930s layout since the screens dividing the various rooms survive in their upper parts. Do have a look at the light-shades. Extraordinary as it may seem, these appear original and different parts of the pub have different-shaped shades.

The panelling in the interior is in classic Truman’s style of the 1930s. Characteristics involve advertising lettering on the panelling naming some of the brewery’s offerings, the chequered spittoon trough, light-cream-coloured Vitrolite panels in the ceiling, overmantels with Truman’s mirrors inserts, and doors in the bar counter to get at the beer engines. Note also some of the chairs, which are not unlike the 1930s survivors at the Fox and Pheasant, West Brompton. The heavy-handed ‘stone’ flooring is clearly a product of the opening up of the pub.
