The Royal Oak

James and the team would like to welcome you to The Royal Oak, a brick built Victorian pub set in the heart of Borough, London.

Nestled on the corner, London high-rises have sprung up around our charming boozer, leaving it an untouched homage to a time when pubs were a place to go for a quiet pint after work, or to put the world to rights with friends.

The first London pub Harvey’s Brewery acquired, we like to stay pretty low key keeping it simple with good beer and good food. We are the secret watering hole of many a Sussex expat, lover of Harvey’s, and cask beer enthusiasts nationally, and internationally!

We were voted one of the UK’s top ten pubs in 2010 (Daily Telegraph), listed number 23 in the Evening Standard’s Top 50 pubs in London’ December 2023, one of the best pubs in Borough (Londonist), and currently hold a five star rating in Time Out London, and we are also regularly featured in CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide. We were also recently awarded SE London CAMRA Pub of the Year 2023!

Expect well-kept Harvey’s beers (cask and keg), good company and great characters, a home from home.
