About The Harp

A narrow, blissfully traditional Covent Garden ale house famed for its cask beers and country ciders — the first London pub ever named CAMRA National Pub of the Year.

Tucked on Chandos Place near Trafalgar Square, The Harp is a shrine to proper British beer. This slender, unpretentious room glows with stained glass, old portraits and a 'football-free zone' sign, drawing drinkers for a rotating cask line-up and one of London's best selections of country ciders and perries. Now a Fuller's pub, it made history in 2011 as the first London house crowned CAMRA National Pub of the Year. Squeeze in downstairs or climb to the quieter upstairs room.
