Popped in here for a quick pint and a bite to eat, the barman was very friendly and more than happy to let us have a small sample of various ales before we finally made our choice, we opted for the India pale ale and ordered a bowl of chunky chips and a fish finger sandwich. The Queens larder is cosy and almost has the feel of a country pub .
The food arrived and it was nice hot and tasty (as tasty as a fish finger sandwich can be) and enjoyable !

Tiny place with a very homey feel and pretty decent Guinness. They had a good outdoor area too. It seemed to be mostly locals. About 10 beers on tap.

One of the best… and real… pubs in London… and the world. A tiny little cozy jewel box oozing with history. Super amazing… great for some pints indoors in this museum-​like place (it is very very old… which is great)…but even nice sitting outside people watching from a picnic table! Oh to be there now! Perfection.

Okay if you have lots of time. We ordered fish and chips and a ham/​cheese plate. It took about 30 minutes to arrive. Except for the chips the food was good.

I’m from out of the country and I try not to judge places until I’ve tried them. I really think people who live or visit the UK should Unilocal more because this place was pretty legit. Never really tried pubs before and I feel fortunate for this first experience. Did you know… That you can order half a pint? Never happens in the U. S… Also, the staf was awesome and personable! I also liked the person I net from Sweden even though she was having a bad day. Place seems like it always gets crowded and there’s a nicer homey feel from it. I’ll probably come back tomorrow!

Lovely pub. Cozy and comfortable. Great selection of beers, reasonable prices and courteous staff. Favorite pub in the Bloomsbury area (and I tried quite a few!)

Cute little place but seems to cater entirely to the relatively large number of American tourists staying nearby. Poor ale selection (this is a Greene King pub). Service was neither friendly nor fast.

This was our stop number three on the crawl that night.
I never went indoors so I cannot say anything about the interior though.
Decent selection of draughts.
We sat outside — nice. And just share a table if it’s full. When we sat there street musicians stopped and played a few songs, then moved on after tippings.
Yeah, I could go there again.

This pub is a little off the beaten track on the way to Russell Square and Southampton Row. Its pretty small inside and has a nice seating area outside that tends to get pretty busy.
The food there’s a pretty good menu that does a good range of sandwiches and mains. The mains are good sized, a little bit more expensive than neighbouring pubs but better quality in my opinion.
The beer not a great deal for the real ale fans, and the drinks are in my opinion, pretty expensive. This is probably something to do with the location as it is on the tourist trail into town.
The atmosphere homely is a good word. Its pretty small inside and the toilets are a bit of a trek. Its doggy friendly the landlady’s pooches are cute. There is no Sky Sports. Staff are friendly and polite and do good recommendations.
Its a place that if you stumble across it is perfectly nice, and is worth calling in, but if you are watching the pennies it is a little on the pricey side

Just off the beaten track south of Euston north of Holborn. This is a quiet little pub with outside seating and a nice atmosphere. It gets a good blend of punters. Not a great choice of ales.
The toilets are a trek into the cellar for the gents. No idea what the food is like.

5 Stars for all the other things people have been saying. I went there twice tho’. First time was excellent. The lady behind the bar was great, good beer, warm on a cold night — all that good stuff.
Second time a guy was bar-​tending — seems to be anti-​American, made a totally unnecessary fuss about paying by credit card — there is a 10 pound minimum, and it is posted — fair enough, but my tab was about 8.5 pounds. Told I couldn’t use my credit card. So I rounded up with a tip to 10 pounds, and got hassled (muttering about ‘yanks’)??? What is with that? The creep kept the tip tho’.
Let’s hope this idiot does away. If you are an American, try to get served by the cheery lady.

Went here for after work drinks with friends, and have to say we quite liked it. Cute little place with indoor and outdoor seating and homey vibe. Hoegaarden and Leffe on tap as well as some other ales, definitely a decent selection. Indoor and outdoor seating area, inside cute little benches and corner tables to sit and chat, although the inside did have a rather strong ‘old beer’ smell, a little of which i don’t mind but it was rather sour.
Didn’t love the TV that was on, on mute but still distracting! It’s one of the things I have come to love so much about pubs, that there is no TV flickering in the background while you have a pint and talk to your friends. Just no need, really!
Definitely a decent little place but could lose the TV!

As an American tourist, no one has every told me about some of the more unusual differences in etiquette — especially in pubs. It seems that tipping is not usual here.
I go to the Queen’s Larder my second day, order a pint of beer for about 3.50, hand the barman Dave a five-​pound note. He gives me the change, and I put the one-​pound coin on the bar. He says slowly, solemnly: «Thank you very much, Sir, thank you indeed. That is most kind of you.» I knew I had done something to offend him — he ignored me for the next hour until I left.
OK, so tipping is not usual in pubs, OK. But shouldn’t a barman know that tourists don’t know UK pub customs, and take it in stride? After that near-​hostile reaction to an innocent, misguided tip, I am not going back to the QL again, even if other barman (Andrew, the friendly, personable one) is working.

Great beer selection, fantastic & comfy atmosphere, and Andrew is a very pleasant barman.
Squeeze into one of the tables on the bottom floor or hop up to the lounge on the second floor for some extra space. Either way it’s a very comfortable pub where one can feel right at home.
Prices are very reasonable at something like £3.75 per pint. We had a blast!

Yep, the rest of these reviews are spot on.
Lovely little place (and it is tiny) but we had a quick lunch here and enjoyed it greatly. MK had the Bacon/​Cheese Pie (turnover for you Americans) and I, the bangers and mash with onion gravy. Couple of nice beers and great Christmas decorations.
I like the area it’s it too. Just around the corner its a bit crazy-​busy but since this faces Queen’s Square its super quiet and peaceful.
Most definitely a stop here the next time we’re back.

The Queens Larder is a charming little pub close to Russell Square and also the Great Ormond Street Hospital and a Neuroscience institute. Though it is beside Kingsway road it seems secluded and quiet. The ground floor is a handsome bar and there is an attractive dining room upstairs with views of Cosmo square. There are also benches outside which are a picturesque place to sit in the summer months. The bar is well-​stocked and the service is friendly.
This pub has a lovely friendly atmosphere and is ideal if you are looking for a quiet place in Central London for a drink or something more substantial.

This is my absolute new favourite number one pub. It’s absolutely tiny and although it fillls up quickly and easily, it’s pretty easy to squeeze in somewhere. It really revs up for Christmas filling every space with decorations and playing festive tunes on repeat. Sort of sounds like hell but it was actually a surprisingly fun place to settle in for a friendly chat. The beers are pretty standard and normal priced although they do have Leffe too.
The best thing about this pub is the local almost country atmosphere despite its location bang in the centre of town. It’s really hidden but surprisingly easy to get to.

A really charming pub close to the West End on a quiet street between Russell Square and Holborn tube stations. The pub is named after Queen Charlotte, wife of the ‘Mad King’ George III, who kept supplies for him in a cellar underneath the pub while he was being treated for insanity by a doctor in the square.
The dining room upstairs is very charming, and full of posters from the West End like the rest of the pub. There was a large group who came here for food and drinks after work besides our table, and they certainly enjoyed their food while we tried the lovely house wine and lagers (including Leffe blond!). There are even some benches outside where you can enjoy the sunny weather in the summer, in the not too windy square.
A gem as its so close to the tube stations, but hidden away on a quiet street!

Nice, little pub, really traditional and can easily be the lunch stop on a surprisingly charming walk through Holborn. There’s two parts to this place — the main bar area downstairs and the restaurant upstairs, which has a great view over the square. The staff are good here and the crowd are pretty mixed, tourists inevitably, hospital staff inevitably and locals occasionally. They’ve got Green King on draught which isn’t great in my book but they’ve got Leffe and plenty of others too.
Haven’t had the grub but it looks good enough and I’d say this pub is definitely one of the better ones round this way.
