The Harkness Birthday Dinner 2019 will once again be held at Brown’s Bar and Brasserie, Covent Garden. Brown’s is located at 82-84 St Martin’s Lane, WC2N 4AG, a short walk north from Trafalgar Square and English National Opera. Nearest tube: Leicester Square. Browns is the old Westminster County Court, and our dinner will once again be held in the splendid Judge’s Chambers, who have looked after us all very well in the past.
