 The Covent Garden area has over 60 pubs and bars ; several of them are listed buildings , with some also on CAMRA 's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors ; some , such as The Harp in Chandos Place , have received consumer awards . The Harp 's awards include London Pub of the Year in 2008 by the Society for the Preservation of Beers from the Wood , and National Pub of the Year by CAMRA in 2011 . It was at one time owned by the Charrington Brewery , when it was known as The Welsh Harp ; in 1995 the name was abbreviated to just The Harp , before Charrington sold it to Punch Taverns in 1997 . It has been owned by the landlady since 2010 .
