One of London’s friendliest and smallest pubs gains West London’s top award!

One of the best pubs in London, and top Pub of the Year 2018 as judged by the members of CAMRA's West London branch from hundreds of pubs across the boroughs of Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea, and the City of Westminster, is the West End's very own Harp.

The branch presented the certificate to the pub and its staff on 18th April. While there we sampled some of their beers which that evening included some of the award winning London beers from the London Drinker Beer Festival. The Harp is widely known for its great selection of well-kept beers and ciders including local London beers, and is a participant in the CAMRA LocAle scheme.

CAMRA West London chairman Les Maggs welcomed the news “As long as the tradition of quality established by the sadly late former owner Binnie Walsh lives on, this is not the first time and will certainly not be the last time that CAMRA's National Pub of the Year 2010 will be in the running for awards!”.

 

The branch will present the runner-up certificates to the Churchill Arms (3rd place) on 2nd May and the Cask Pub and Kitchen (2nd place) on 15 May.
