222 Fore Street, Upper Edmonton, London · N18 2QD · Mo-Sa 11:00-23:00; Su 12:00-22:00

The Crown & Anchor is a Craft Union community local on Fore Street in Upper Edmonton, and it is one of those proper neighbourhood boozers built around live sport and a pool table rather than fuss. It suits you if you want a cheap pint, a frame of pool with mates, and a screen showing the football. The single most useful thing to know: it is the home pub of the Enfield District Pool League, so the table is a genuine fixture here, not an afterthought.

Expect reasonable prices, Sky Sports across several TVs, karaoke nights, and a fully enclosed courtyard out the back for when you want some air. It is a walk-in local, so just turn up. Edmonton Green and Silver Street overground stations are both a short walk away.

The pool setup

There is a pool table on site and it gets proper use, because the Crown & Anchor is the home pub of the Enfield District Pool League. That means league nights when the table is tied up with fixtures, but plenty of casual play otherwise. Alongside it you will find darts, so it is a games-led local rather than a quiet drinking pub. If you are coming specifically to play, it is worth checking whether a league match is on that evening, since competitive nights take priority on the table.

Good to know

This is a Craft Union pub, the value-led arm of Stonegate, so drinks are kept cheap and there is no table-service polish. Several TVs show live sport on Sky, and karaoke and live music feature on some nights. The pub was refurbished in 2018 and has a fully enclosed courtyard at the back with some covered seating. It is a walk-in local, so no booking is needed. Food is limited, so come for drinks and games rather than a sit-down meal.

Getting there

The Crown & Anchor sits on Fore Street (the A1010) in Upper Edmonton, N18. Edmonton Green station and Silver Street station are both within walking distance, with frequent overground services into Liverpool Street. Several bus routes run along Fore Street too, so it is easy to reach without a car.
