🚇 Goldhawk Road 🍺 £6.45 Heineken This pub is located in a quiet residential area of Shepherd’s Bush in West London. The nearest Tube is Goldhawk Road, Shepherd’s Bush Market station also close by. This Fuller’s pub was built in 1866 and was once a Charrington’s House, as evidenced by the trademark stained-glass windows. Throughout the 1970s and ’80s, the Crown & Sceptre became the unofficial home of Queens Park Rangers fans. It was famed for its strong QPR ties, with players and supporters mingling on match days. This is a reasonably sized, high-ceilinged one-bar pub that had a refurb back in April. The decor is a mix of traditional and contemporary styles. The servery sits in the middle and has a beautifully carved back bar, complete with an etched QPR mirror and a big painting of champion greyhound Rapid Ranger on the right. To the left, there’s a period cast-iron fireplace with a large crown on the wall above it. There’s loads of seating throughout—dimpled banquettes, comfy chairs, and poser tables with stools. Head to the loos past the open kitchen and you’ll spot some great photos and prints. Out back, there’s a stylish, partly covered patio beer garden. The beer selection is on point, with a good mix of familiar keg favourites and four cask ales. I went for a Heineken—my pint hit the spot. Price-wise, it was a tad above average. The food menu features a mix of Thai dishes and pub classics. Pad Thai starts at £13, while fish and chips comes in at £15. I arrived just after 6pm on a warm Saturday evening in June. The pub was fairly busy, with a good mix of punters of all ages. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed, making it easy to settle in. The service was excellent—the team on duty were upbeat, welcoming, and friendly. I plotted up in the beer garden to enjoy my pint. What a fantastic backstreet boozer this is. Love the new paint job—the interior’s comfortable, and I like the nods to the pub’s heritage. The beer choice and food options mean there’s something for everyone. I really liked it here—a must-visit if you’re in the area.
