Crown and Treaty
The Crown and Treaty is a pub on Oxford Road in Uxbridge, London, England, where Charles I and his Parliamentary opponents during the English Civil War held negotiations (the Treaty of Uxbridge) between 30 January and 22 February 1645.[1] It is a Grade II* listed building, dating from 1576.[2]
Description
The Crown and Treaty was built in the early sixteenth century as Place House. It was two thirds larger than it is today, but was reduced in size when Oxford Road was widened to accommodate the coaching traffic in the eighteenth century, and was converted into a coaching inn. The architectural conversion was overseen by Sir John Soane.[3]
Mercury Prize-nominated band Sweet Billy Pilgrim named their third album Crown and Treaty after the pub.[4]
In the 2019 general election, contesting the seat of Uxbridge and South Ruislip, Count Binface proposed improvements to the pub in his manifesto:[5]
21. The hand dryer in the gents’ toilet at the Crown & Treaty, Uxbridge to be moved to a more sensible position.
The interior panelling
The wood panelling was sold in 1924 to decorate an office in the Empire State Building. However, as a gift to Elizabeth II during her coronation in 1953 the panelling was reinstalled in the inn. The pub closed for refurbishing in April 2018, and reopened on 25 October 2019.[citation needed]
