It was previously owned and run by [[Category Wetherspoons|Wetherspoons]], but was [https://www.londonnewsonline.co.uk/wetherspoon-sells-historic-streatham-pub-the-crown-sceptre-to-the-disgust-of-its-customers/ sold to a private investor] in Spring 2019. The pub remains open, but we haven't visited since the change of management so some of the details below may be out of date. |

Wetherspoons pub on Streatham Hill.
It's a large space, but broken up with pillars and etched-glass dividers to give plenty of hideaway corners. The ceiling is low and painted a deep burgundy, but windows all around the exterior wall provide enough natural light to avoid any hint of gloominess. Decor is traditional, with a patterned carpet, varnished dark wood tables and chairs, and padded banquettes. Fruit machines flash silently here and there.
Kake visited on a Friday morning in September 2018. There were quite a few people in when I arrived around 11am, but still plenty of spare tables. No music was playing, as is usual for Wetherspoons.
The handpumps were clipped for Upham Autumn Leaves, Dorset Brewing Company Durdle Door, Woodforde's Red Admiral, Sharp's Doom Bar, Marston's Old Empire IPA, Greene King Abbot Ale, and Ruddles Best (all priced between £1.99 and £2.49/pint), as well as two real ciders: Gwynt Y Ddraig Black Dragon and Westons Old Rosie (£3.15 and £3.19/pint, respectively). A pint of lime and soda was 80p.
Accessibility: A large step to get in. Some of the seating is on a dais, up three steps. No further steps to the ladies', but three steps to the gents'.
