Further Update - If you’re heading to The Goose, specifically at the start of the week, check the new earlier closing times before travelling.
Update - Just to say that, as far as I know, it will be some months, maybe a year or two before the Crown and Goose closes.
Excuse the local and personal nature of this post.
A real shame - it seems it’s the end for The Crown and Goose.
A Ten minutes walk to this pub normally results in a thirty minute return journey for me along the same route (after a few pints of Guinness).
The pub has been fighting to stay open for years but it looks like it has finally lost its battle with developers whose representatives seem to be making something of the badly needed accommodation the site will provide :
“If you look at the sites in central London where there is a need for more housing, this is one that I think is ripe for development.
“Ten new flats will come from this. The buildings that are there do not have much architectural merit – they are not listed.”

Hmmm - Ten flats in a rather well-to-do area of Camden. This will surely help vital inner city workers in their quest to find accommodation close to the services which Camden residents so desperately need.
Celebrity-ville, despite the reputation, the Crown and Goose was not. Although there may have been frequent visits by certain members of music’s finest, the Goose is a place that the odd celeb managed a relatively normal drink with his or her mates, without being disturbed.

Blimey, I met my wife in this pub. Although we don’t live in London any more we do still visit from time to time when we come down to Camden. If it closes it’ll be a real loss - it’s an elegant, friendly old pub.
Hi Neil,
I talked about me sending you the address of the DVD edit of ‘Boogie and Blues -The All New Beginners Guide’ part of which was shot in the Crown & Goose. However I can’t find your e mail address on the site. Could you e mail me and I will give you the youtube address of the edit. (And anything else you might want),
All best,
Louis
