Description & History:
The Property is a Grade II listed former public house which benefits from basement. ground, first, second and thirds floors.

The Crockers Folly is one of the finest and most extravagant late-Victorian pubs left in London. It was built as the Crown Hotel in 1898 by Frank Crocker who had heard that a new rail terminal was to be built here. He spared no expense; every wall, window and ceiling is decorated in sumptuous style. It is divided into three bars; a sports bar complete with large screen TV, games machines, table football and a darts board; the elaborate stucco walls and ceilings, featuring frolicking cherubs, have been painted a rather unsubtle loud orange, but it does have fine pillars and nice wood panelling behind the bar. The right hand bar, which once featured live music and is now a dining room, is airy and elegant, the ceiling in particular worth a look. But the finest and most comfortable bar is the main central one. It features a large coloured marble hooded fireplace, fine tile and glasswork, a grand wooden bar, big comfy sofas and chairs and a richly decorated painted plaster ceiling. Back in the 1960s the pub was used in a scene from the film Georgy Girl.
