Why Stay at the Crown London Hotel, Cricklewood?
With so many major events at Wembley this summer, choosing the right hotel base matters. The Crown London Hotel at 142–152 Cricklewood Broadway, NW2 3ED is one of the most practical and characterful options in North West London — here’s why.
Perfectly Located for Wembley Stadium
The Crown London is just a 10-minute walk from both Kilburn and Willesden Green tube stations on the Jubilee Line, and only a 3-minute walk from Cricklewood Station (Thameslink). From Kilburn or Willesden Green, Wembley Park is just four or five stops — making the journey to the stadium straightforward and stress-free.
Prefer to take a cab after the show? An Uber from the hotel to Wembley typically costs around £14 — a relaxed option after a big night out. For those driving, on-site parking is available at £19.95 per night, and guests who book direct receive a generous 50% discount on parking.
The hotel’s location also puts all of London within easy reach. Paddington is around 6km away, King’s Cross and St Pancras International are accessible by tube, and London Heathrow Airport is just 33 minutes by car.
A Grade II Listed Victorian Hotel with Real Character
The Crown London is no ordinary hotel. The building is a Grade II listed Victorian landmark — originally built in 1889 by architects Shoebridge & Rising and now listed on the London Regional Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. The original pub at the front retains features largely unchanged since 1900, including carved fireplaces with green glazed brick facings, traditional Victorian woodwork and stained glass windows.
Taken over by AG Hotels Group in 2022 and extensively refurbished before reopening in April 2023, the hotel strikes a beautiful balance between Victorian heritage and modern, four-star comfort.
Spacious, Well-Equipped Rooms
The hotel offers 152 guest rooms and suites — including standard queen rooms, twin rooms and junior suites — that are notably more spacious than is typical for a London four-star hotel. All rooms include:
- Free in-room Wi-Fi
- Individually adjustable air conditioning
- Flat-screen TV
- Laptop-compatible safe
- 24-hour room service
- Desk and separate sitting area
Guests consistently praise the cleanliness, comfort and size of the rooms, with recent reviews highlighting the quality of the beds and the friendliness of the team.
The Crown Pub – Food, Drinks & Live Music On Your Doorstep
The entire pub experience is run by Elephant & Barrel, who take care of both the food and the drinks. On the food side, expect a fantastic menu of European favourites and Indian-inspired dishes, all made fresh daily. On the drinks front, Elephant & Barrel keeps things just as impressive — with cold pints on tap, a well-curated wine list, spirits and creative cocktails that are every bit as good as the food.
But The Crown Pub isn’t just about eating and drinking. The venue also boasts a dedicated games room packed with entertainment, including:
- 🎱 Pool table
- 🎯 Darts
- 👾 Pac-Man machines
- 🕹️ Pinball machines
- And a range of other classic arcade and games machines
Whether you’re fuelling up before heading to Wembley, celebrating after a great show, or simply looking for a fun and characterful evening out in North West London, The Crown Pub has everything you need under one roof.
Facilities for Every Type of Traveller
Beyond the rooms and the pub, the Crown London caters well for all types of guest:
- Four versatile meeting and event spaces accommodating up to 300 guests — including the grand Ivy Suite (with built-in dance floor and stage) and the atmospheric Sala Room (with original Victorian fireplaces and stained glass windows)
