The Harcourt Arms - 32 Harcourt St, W1H 4HX
A truly excellent pub tucked away down the side streets to the south of Marylebone Station and a short distance from Edgware Road and Paddington. So if you find yourself killing time before a journey back out to the high-tech heartland of the M4 corridor, or are hanging around for a conference in West London you should look this place up. Better still, the wi-fi is free for punters - just ask any one of the friendly bar staff. (website)

A decent selection of fairly basic food and drink complement the comfortable surrounds, and if the sun is shining there's a little garden out back as well as the tables out front. (map)
