The Crown

Historic Charm Just Outside the City Buzz

A beautifully preserved 16th-century coaching inn, The Crown in Old Amersham blends rich history with modern comfort. Located just a short drive from London’s major music venues, it’s a peaceful retreat with easy access to the M40, M25, M1, and M4 — ideal for concert-goers looking to escape the city noise after the show. With free Wi-Fi, free parking, and a mix of classic and contemporary rooms (including the famous four-poster suite from 'Four Weddings and a Funeral'), it’s a memorable base for your music-filled weekend.

Why Concert-goers love it

The Crown is a top choice for fans heading to gigs in and around London thanks to its easy motorway access and peaceful location in historic Amersham. After the noise of a packed venue, guests appreciate the quiet, countryside atmosphere for a restful night’s sleep. With flexible check-in from 15:00 and check-out at 11:00, it suits late-night arrivals and slow mornings. Free on-site parking is a bonus for those driving in from venues.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends wanting a character-filled stay with space to unwind
- Solo travelers on a musical pilgrimage looking for comfort and charm
- Couples turning a concert into a romantic getaway
- Fans needing a quiet place to decompress after the show
- Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value beyond the city limits

Food and Drink Options

Dine in style at the AA Rosette-awarded Hawkyns Restaurant, where fine dining meets historic charm. For something more casual, relax with a drink in the on-site lounge and bar. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the bar stays open late enough for a nightcap after your gig. Breakfast is available — perfect for a slow start after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While Amersham is more mellow than metropolitan, you’ll find cozy pubs and local bars just a short stroll away. If your night doesn’t end with the encore, enjoy a drink in the hotel’s inviting bar area or explore the charming High Street for a laid-back vibe.

What People Say

Reviews highlight the hotel’s beautiful historic interiors, excellent dining, and comfortable beds. Many guests rave about the easy access to motorways, making it a convenient base for events in London or nearby towns. The character-filled rooms and peaceful setting earn repeated praise as a perfect post-concert retreat.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the historic building can mean creaky floorboards and walls that carry sound — part of the charm, but worth noting if you’re a light sleeper. Room temperatures can vary, especially in summer, so check ahead for fan or AC options.

The Bottom Line

The Crown offers a charming, restful escape for concert-goers who want easy access to the action — but a peaceful place to land after the encore.
