From the press release:

“The Three Crowns and The Waiting Room have been taken over by 586 Ltd, the team behind the Lock Tavern and the Shacklewell Arms, heralding a new era for the 120 capacity basement venue formerly known as The Drop. They will be making use of the 4am weekend licence to introduce an exciting programme of events and gigs each week.”

And for you decor snobs:

“…with aesthetic modifications to include walls clad in scaffolding slates, and full-wall visual projections. And there’s no cause for concern to aficionados of the venue, as the vintage tiling will be left just as it is.”
