Small pub tucked behind [[Goodge Street Station]], near [[Locale Tottenham Court Road|Tottenham Court Road]]. It was previously known as the Hope <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/2085208976/ photo]</small>, but was renovated extensively in 2012 and renamed to the Hope Fitzrovia. (For a description of it pre-renovation, see <a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?id=Hope_Fitzrovia,_W1T_2AJ&version=30">earlier version of this page</a>.) |

Note: [http://www.hardens.com/uk-london/29-09-2017/fitzrovia-boozer-the-hope-reopens-with-100-free-pies-to-giveaway/ According to Harden's] it has been refurbished yet again since our most recent visit, so some of the details below may be out of date. |
Regularly serves London Pride and Timothy Taylor's Landlord (though the standard has been known to vary in quality), at around £2.80 a pint. There will usually be at least one other guest ale available. A gin and tonic will set you back around £3.20. |

This corner pub is even smaller inside than it looks from the outside, though the large windows let in a reasonable amount of light. The decor is muted greys and browns, though some interest is added by a brick feature wall and another wallpapered with various London landmarks. Two flatscreens face each other across the room. |
Excellent food is served at lunchtimes (Sausage Of The Week is highly recommended!) but arrive before 1pm to be sure of getting a table. There are usually one or two vegetarian specials available; portions of chips are plentiful and speedily served. |

An L-shaped banquette flanked by varnished tables and low stools provides seating for about 15 people, while three tall tables along the front windows have tall chairs for a dozen more. Dark-varnished floorboards offer standing room in front of the bar. |
The downstairs is rather cramped and can get very busy in the evenings, especially Fridays. On a Saturday afternoon it is an excellent place to hide away for a quiet pint. There are several picnic-style tables outside, and a big screen in one corner (that rarely shows anything on weekdays). |

There's another room upstairs, which used to be available to hire out; we aren't sure if this is still the case post-renovation. |
There is an upstairs room which can be hired out for free if you promise to fill it with a reasonable amount of people. |

Kake visited on a Wednesday afternoon in April 2016. The three handpumps on the bar were clipped for Lancaster Brewery American Hop, Woodforde's Reedlighter, and Gale's Seafarers. A pint of lime and soda was £1.50. It likely gets much busier at peak times, but when I arrived a little after 2:30pm there were only three other customers. The flatscreens were showing football with the sound off, and music was playing, not too loud. Food is served; as of April 2016 this consists mainly of burgers (<small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/26472499011/ menu photo 1]</small>, <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/26446242192/ menu photo 2]</small>) and is served noon-3pm and 5pm-9pm on weekdays and noon-6pm on weekends. Accessibility: Only a tiny step to get in, more of a ridge. However, the ladies' toilet is down three steps with narrow access and no handrail, and the gents' is down more steps, again with no handrail.
