FAP Rating 4 - Click for an explanation of our ratings
This back street pub has had a lick of paint and a change of furnishings in recent years. Thankfully nothing too dramatic though. It helps that even though the obligatory leather sofas have been installed, the period windows (with Watney's lettering) have been kept in place. Since opening, the drink options have improved, with Timothy Taylor's Landlord, Staropramen and Erdinger now being the most visible options. What this one does have in its favour is the eagerness of the staff and an amiable atmosphere. Best of all, even with the excellent food this one isn't a food-led gastro conversion: it's still a pub - and it has accommodation, there are four bedrooms. You'll also hear some decent selections on the CD player (though the monthly psych-folk Sundays are now a thing of the past). Plenty of pubs have been remodelled in the area around King's Cross but this one's easily the most compact and friendly.

How to find the The Harrison pub

Cross Euston Road, avoiding the junkies, prostitutes and other assorted weirdoes just outside the station and proceed down Grays Inn Road, on the opposite side of the road to the Scala and the Water Rats. Eventually turn right down Harrison Street - you'll soon see the pub on a side street to the left.
