Great pub with friendly staff well worth a visit.

Beer outstanding as usual on my visit again last night. Fantastic variety through gravity and colour. Dark Star revelation was particularly good. The service, though swift, lacked the usual courteous approach I experienced here in the past, but they were ridiculously busy so more than understandable. Always a pleasure to visit.

And see on their web site twitter and Facebook - April 17th the Harp was named West London CAMRA Pub of the Year.

Popped in yesterday at about 11:30. Made sure I was early, as I knew it would probably fill up, as it did.
Downstairs, is small, cosy, and decorated with drawings and paintings of film/stage actors. Has a great atmosphere, a far cry,thankfully, from corporate ye olde pubbe fakes. The Harp has a small upstairs room with some comfy looking armchairs, and tables, but I feel that you`d miss out on the atmosphere if you favoured a little more comfort.
Sadly, it was to be a fleeting visit, so I went for the Dark Star Hophead, which was delightful. Decided to take advantage of the sausage menu, I had Spicy Pork, whilst my son had Wild Boar ?! tucked into a toasted baguette , which were both hot, fresh and tasty. Luckily, we found a table at the back, and tucked in. Meanwhile, the pub filled up, with knowledgeable drinkers, and city types, and the bar staff swelled from one to four, all friendly and efficient. I would love to have spent all afternoon here, as I am sure that I would have made new friends, but I wouild have wound up staggering about Central London, and that just would n`t do.
Great beer, great atmosphere, friendly staff, tasty fresh food, why are n`t all pubs like this? A definate "must visit" when you`re next in the Smoke.

This pub is an absolute palace and shrine to real ale. Eight handpumps with two offerings from Dark Star & Wandle, Harvey's amongst others - all in fine fettle. The curious can sample the ale before buying. Great selection of bottled ciders, artisan malt whiskies & good Rioca for wine drinkers. Helpful, knowledgeable and unpretentious staff.

The facade above the bar is peppered with hundreds of calling cards from previous guest ales. This fine establishment is the Gold - Standard benchmark by which I measure all other pubs, and none come close. The only downside is its a victim of its own success and always packed at peak times. Get in early, do the menu and go to Heaven!
