Lunch time, the new owners have done a splendid job on restoring this magnificent building. We had a drink in the bar and then moved in to the Marble Room for lunch. No cask ale unfortunately.

About the Crocker's Folly

The pub sign. Crocker's Folly, St John's Wood, Greater London

Website.

The pub is found in St John's Wood, Greater London, NW8 8JR.

In Aberdeen Place a Grade II listed building, dating back to 1898, which shut in 2004 and has had an uncertain future since then and eventually re-opened in October 2014 as a magnificently decorated and furnished mainly food led establishment but drinkers are welcome in the pubby part. Up-market restaurant in the former billiard room. Until 1987 it was named Crown Hotel. The name change arose because of a fictional story that Frank Crocker built this grand establishment to serve the Great Central Railway's new terminus. In fact this ended up at Marylebone over half a mile away. Ruin, despair and suicide so the story goes!

We have visited this pub once, seen 0 different beers and tried them all.
