No less than nine real ales on (Young’s Bitter; Gale’s Seafarer; Hyde’s Original; Hyde’s Special; GK St Edmund’s; Downton Apple Blossom; Hereford Original; Derventio Brewery Vesuvius; and Celtic Gold) plus three kegs of ciders on the bar dispensed by gravity. Obviously the ales will change regularly, but the above gives a flavour of the range of ales to expect. The pub itself is set in a quiet, essentially terrace housed backstreet. It is still a two-roomed pub; on the left the door proclaims it to be the saloon and billiards bar – although no billiards to be played now alas – and on the right it is advertised as the bottle and jug, leading to a largish room that has probably subsumed both the public bar as well as the off sales area. The dartboard and pool table are in the right hand bar. Not much else to add to what Maldenman has already said, except to stress that this pub retains its original pub atmosphere, and for this reason, as well as the superb range of ales, is definitely worth seeking out.

A very large pub with a traditional lounge and saloon bar set up, divided by the bar. The lounge is split into two distinct areas, the front is bright and airy with large windows facing the street. Seating is mainly red leather sofas, there are bookcases, flowers etc; the rear section has wood panelled walls, stained glass windows and a small stage to one end, bands and comedy are advertised. Sky Sports on showing the cricket with the volume down. A door leads to the rear garden.
The exterior has some fine green tiles, and a few benches to the frontage.
I didn't look in the saloon bar but it sounded fairly lively.
Friday nights are advertised as curry night, and being a Friday I could just smell the preperations in progress, good it smelled too.
There are four hand pumps in each bar, double clipped so the full range can be seen. Archers One Eyed Snake and Golden,Sambrooks Brewery Wandle, Downton Honey Blonde,Hogs Back Utopia, Pride, GK IPA and St Edmunds Ale. Various pump clips decorate the top of the bar.
Very impressive, I'll have to return for one of The Red Lion's beer festivals.

Fine award-winning traditional community local in an Isleworth side street close to the station

There are 2 interconnecting bars, a fairly basic public bar with a snooker table and the main bar, traditional and comfortable, which includes a stage where regular jazz nights are held, plus Sunday afternoons.

There's a good range of real ales always on and regular beer festivals are held. Both the Sharps IPA and the Ascot Ales Anastasias ( a tasty stout ) were sampled and found to be very tasy and moreish last Sunday lunchtime.

There are some interesting old pictures of the area, including one of regulars outside the pub celebrating Queen Victoria's jubilee in 1887. ( the pub dates back to 1846 )

There is also a large metal plaque at the end of the bar indicating that this pub weas formerly owned by Royal Brewery of Brentford

Home made food is available during normal meal times - including a renowned curry night on Fridays.

This is probably my 2nd favourite pub in this part of West London now , after the Magpie and Crown in Brentford.

In conclusion, this pub is definitely worth seeking out

The Red Lion is currently holding a Celtic beer and cider festival. Went here last night to try the cider selection. The place was fairly busy, but there was still plenty of seating. There were several dogs, but all were well-behaved and caused no offence. Beers on offer for the festival were Purple Moose Dark Side of the Moose, Kelburn Ca'Canny, Coastal Merry Maidens Mild, Breconshire WPA, Atlas Three Sisters, Cairngorm Sheepshaggers, Skinners Betty Stoggs & Cornish Knocker, Salopian Hop Twister, Conway Welsh Pride, Broughton Old Jock, Williams Red & Harviestoun Ptarmigan. The Hop Twister seemed to be going down best. For cider and perry lovers, there was Gwynt y Ddraig Black Dragon, Haymaker and Two Trees Perry plus Montgomery Old Monty's. All in all, we had a very pleasant evening in the Red Lion, and I would not hesitate to recommend this pub.

This place had been recommended so I popped in before going to Brentford. 8 ales being Derventio Venus, Jack Frost, Ordinary, TEA, Triple ff Pressed Rat and Warthog, Sharp's Cornish Coaster, Sambrook Wandleand Naylor's On Target. Last one was a wonderful hoppy beer. Also have Erdinger and three ciders were listed on the board. A large pub with separate lounge and public bars and a room with a stage at the back of the lounge.

No hesitation in recommending this one.
