Formerly The Crown Public House
I don't know when this ceased to be a public house, but I would guess several years ago. Since I last saw the building, a second storey has appeared on the roof.
My darts team played at this pub for a couple of years in the late 1970's, in the Croydon Monday Darts League. Back in the days of elm dartboards (before Dutch Elm Disease), which gave a nice solid thud, as the dart hit the board. In one pairs match, my partner left me on 50, and I stepped up to take aim at the bullseye. The "caller" heard a thud, but did not see where the dart had gone, as he was looking at 18. Seeing me moving forward, he looked again, saw the dart in the centre of the bullseye, and quickly called out "game shot"!
