The Harp in City of London

Superb pub. A beacon of excellence in a sea of central London mediocrity. Always a warm welcome, vast range of well kept cask beers, top bar service (dont go to many places where staff are good enough to successfully manage three orders at once) and cellar skills.

What a great little pub.Very busy but bar staff were superb. Serving 3 people at once & taking money from 2. Impressive !!Not a lot of room but a great atmosphere.

Cracking discovery. A lovely original pub with a fabulous ale selection. This is about the beer. No frills. Remember what pubs were like in the 60s? Like that but with a great selection of ales and without the misogyny and swearing. Seating upstairs.

We just love the harp and try to visit every time we visit London. It's got great atmosphere wher you can sit and talk enjoying one of the many guest ales or ciders ( there is a great selection of spirits and wine also)

Excellent real ale pub with numerous cask ales. Wooden floors and bar add to the general ambience of this watering hole. A cordial atmosphere completes the equation. Wholeheartedly recommended.

Always has been a good pub. Prices are rising , over £5 a pint.

Simple traditional pub with a good range of beers. There is a fantastic upstairs snug that looks over Chandos Place. The good part is that it's nearly always empty. A pub of this quality so close to Covent Garden and Trafalgar Square is rare enough, but one where you can breathe - and sit down at the same time- is quite a find

Great little pub. Limited seating on ground level, but there is an upper floor lounge area too. Well kept range of beers. Real ale & craft. Good, friendly service too. Always a port of call for us when in London.

The Harp was the Evening Standard's Best Pub in London 2019 - and I’m not going to disagree! Located en route from Charring Cross to Covent Garden, it attracts both tourists and those who know its reputation for real ales - so it’s rarely quiet.The small exterior is very pretty - adorned with flowers and with stained glass windows that open fully in the summer. Despite the small frontage, the interior extends far enough back from the street to accommodate a reasonably large amount of customers. There is also a small room upstairs and a passage out the back - although many people spill out into the street.Although the pub is now owned by Fuller's there are always at least a half dozen real ales available from independent brewers. Food appears to be mainly freshly cooked sausages served in bread rolls.Sometimes I’m put off by how busy it gets - but you can’t blame people for wanting to visit - it is a great pub!

Long one of London's best pubs for real ale I'm delighted to see it open again. Very well organised from the moment you walk in and are guided to a table (nice touch to ask you to look at the beers as you pass the bar). Table service provided and the pint of Jaipur I had was in excellent condition.Whereas in previous visits you could barely move, it's a sad reflection of current events that barely every table was taken on an early Wednesday evening. But I'll certainly return when in central London again.
