The Crown is a pub in Covent Garden, London, at 43 Monmouth Street facing on to Seven Dials and Short's Gardens.

The pub was established in 1833.[1] The ceramic tiling outside is original.[2]

It was known as The Clock House in the time of Charles Dickens, when it was a "hot bed of villainy", in an area well known for prostitutes and pickpockets.[3]

The pub was part of the Taylor Walker pub chain. [1] It is now owned by the pub chain Greene King.
