Calthorpe Arms, London

Brodies are now operating the pub. There are 6 handpumps serving up to 5 cask beers from Harvey’s Brewery (such as Sussex Best, Old Ale and Armada Ale). The range can vary but Sussex Best will be always be on. On 23/07 Harvey's Sisters & Olympia were on tap.

Great friendly pub and reasonable prices for this bit of London. Background music is played but when busy you won't hear it!

NOTE - the website set up by the previous tenant is still live and so bears little resemblance to what you will find today - so we no longer provide the link. We are assuming the phone number remained unchanged.

Following the sale of the pub to Punch and the retirement of the long-standing licensee before Xmas 2021, it is fair to say that this pub has gone through some changes. There are now three televisions and a juke box. Clearly refurbished on the change of ownership but with the exception of the additional electronic devices the same feel as before. The function room is still in use eg the folk club is meeting there.

On the corner with Wren Street, where pavement seating is available, this comfortable, single bar pub is popular with locals and office workers alike. In 1830, it was used as a temporary magistrates' court after the first recorded murder of a policeman on duty. Young’s bought the pub in 1984 but in 2021, as part of a larger sale, it was bought by Punch. Three times local CAMRA Pub of the Year while owned by Young's.
