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to Harden's] it has been refurbished yet again since our most recent visit, so some of the details below may be out of date.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.

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 &pound;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>

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.
