About CR7 Lounge
Our story, our team, and our commitment to great experiences
Our Story
CR7 Lounge was born from a simple idea: create a vibrant bar and family restaurant that serves as the last remaining pub on Thornton Heath pond, combining the best of traditional British pub culture with modern sensibilities and exceptional quality.
Established in 2022 by a group of friends who shared a passion for great beer, good food, and creating spaces where people can connect, CR7 Lounge quickly became a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike.
Located at 774 London Road in Thornton Heath, we've worked hard to create an atmosphere that feels both familiar and special - a place where everyone is welcome and every visit is memorable.
Our Values
These core principles guide everything we do at CR7 Lounge.
Quality First
From our carefully selected drinks to our locally-sourced ingredients, we never compromise on quality. We believe that the best experiences come from the best products.
Community Focus
We're proud to be part of the Croydon community. We support local suppliers, host events that bring people together, and strive to be a positive presence in our neighborhood.
Welcoming Atmosphere
Everyone who walks through our doors should feel welcome. We've created a space that's inclusive, comfortable, and designed for connection.
