The Harcourt Arms belongs to a nexus of great pubs in the Marylebone Baker Street area, and has pretty much everything you could ask for in such a place. It's very welcoming, clean and well maintained, serves a decent selection of beers, including Pride, Adnam's as well as a monthly guest ale, and has a good beer garden.

Many of the pubs in this area have their own little eccentricities or things that make them that little bit different. Whilst lacking in strange memorabilia or acting as a meeting place of odd societies, the Harcourt proudly boasts a link with the area's Swedish community - it's proximity to the Swedish Church down the street no coincidence.

If you don't fancy sitting in the main bar, what about the Svenska Salongen situated at the back? You can also be served Swedish ciders by the Swedish bar staff. They also show Swedish sport, if that's your thing - and that's when the place can get really crowded. When the ice hockey's on the box, if Forlunda or HV 71 means nothing to you, forget it. But, overall a pub that goes from strength to strength.
