Located close to Trafalgar Square – so handy to pop out for a quick beer if you’re busy protesting – The Harp at 47 Chandos Place, Covent Garden, WC2N 4HS has been honoured with beardy, real-ale campaigners CAMRA’s highest honour: National Pub of the Year.
London’s first winner
Judged on the essential pub elements like including atmosphere, decor, customer service, value for money, clientele mix, and most importantly, the quality of the beer, The Harp is the first London boozer to win CAMRA’s National Pub of the Year competition.
Here’s how CAMRA reviewed the pub:
A small, friendly, independent free house which has become a haven for beer choice, generally including a mild or porter, Dark Star and London Micro-brewery seasonal. The narrow bar is adorned with mirrors, theatrical memorabilia and portraits. There is no intrusive music or TV and a cosy upstairs room provides refuge from the busy throng.
With 8 real ales and a wide selection of real ciders and perries on tap at any one time, this is a boozer I thoroughly approve of – well done to the landlady, Bridget Walsh!
