Review at a glance

This characterful old pub a stone’s throw from Charing Cross station offers a rotating selection of 20 or so brews, main focusing on real ales. And as a regular CAMRA award winner, you can rest assured they’re in good condition.

The much-loved pub is a favourite drinking spot among many London drinkers. Nicely tucked away round the corner from Covent Garden and Leicester Square, The Harp is the pub of choice for beer connoisseurs due to the fact it offers an unrivalled selection of draught ales in the area.

The stained glass windows and portraits on the walls make it a beautiful setting for a drink, and it’s good value for money too: It’s no wonder so many Londoners are fond of this Chandos Place drinking spot. It gets absolutely rammed at peak times, but it's well worth tackling the crowds for.
