The Spotlight on PubLove @ The Rose & Crown

London Vibes at a Historic Pub Stay

Modern hostel energy meets classic English pub charm at PubLove @ The Rose & Crown, located in the heart of Newington. Set above a traditional pub and surrounded by London's vibrant culture, this adults-only spot is ideal for travelers who want to mix comfort, nightlife, and easy access to top concert venues.
You're just a short walk or ride away from hotspots like London Bridge, Borough Market, and the South Bank, all while enjoying free Wi-Fi, a laid-back pub atmosphere, and iconic city views from the terrace.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location, location, location. PubLove @ The Rose & Crown puts you within quick reach of major London music venues, while still offering a quiet room above the pub when you're ready to wind down. The 24-hour front desk is a huge plus if you're coming back late from a show, and being near public transport means you can catch the Tube or night buses home without stress.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a fun, social stay with pub vibes
  • Solo travelers on a concert pilgrimage
  • Couples making a weekend of gigs and sightseeing
  • Fans seeking a lively base with a quiet crash pad upstairs
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want to save for merch and tickets

Food and Drink Options

  • On-site pub restaurant serving up burgers and bar bites
  • Craft beers and cocktails available downstairs until late
  • Plenty of nearby eateries in Borough Market for pre- or post-show munchies
  • No formal breakfast, but food is available all day to suit your schedule

Nightlife Options

  • Chill onsite bar with a local pub atmosphere—perfect for pre-gig drinks
  • Easy walk to buzzing bars and clubs near London Bridge and the South Bank
  • Live music venues and late-night spots just a short ride away

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, great location, and the unique vibe of staying above a classic London pub. Many highlight the cleanliness of the rooms and the ability to meet other travelers in the relaxed bar setting. The value for money is frequently praised, especially for central London.

Areas for Improvement

This isn't a five-star hotel, and that’s part of its charm. Some guests note that the rooms are basic and compact, and the stairs might be a challenge for those with heavy luggage. But if you’re here for the music and the city, you’ll likely be spending more time out than in.

The Bottom Line

For music fans wanting a budget-friendly, social, and central spot to crash after a gig, PubLove @ The Rose & Crown hits all the right notes.

Poor

Liked: It's good location, late night drink serving and outdoor sitting at front and back
Disliked: When you go up the stairs for the rooms you can start smelling the stinking pee. In the room I stayed, other than the window side two person at the same time cant stand. There was barely any air flow in the corner our beds were. Drinks are unreasonably expensive, didnt check the food
