Sadly The Red Lion is now closed, there were a number of reasons contributing to this, primarily it is in need of extensive building work. It may or may not reopen as a pub some time, but lets hope it does, as a damn fine pub it was.

Still worth a look, but whereas I'd once have ranked this the best pub in Mayfair, if not Central London, the quality of the beer has been average last couple of times I've been here. Perfectly drinkable, perfectly OK, but in comparison to the quality in the past, when everything was very well kept, not quite the same.

I'm a great fan of Mayfair pubs and this is closest to the best.

Sneaky location means that the tourist trade are largely absent and in the evening the snug bar makes it seem like somewhere outside London rather than right in the heart of it.

Quite a few Scotsmen in their skirts and furry purses last time I was in so can only assume there was a ball or similar at one of the big hotels on Park Lane

If you are looking for somewhere nice for an evening in Mayfair this is well worth the effort

A great find this. A regular at the Curzon Mayfair cinema, the usual post-film drinks venue has tended to be the good, but overcrowded Ye Grapes pub in Shepherd Market. This alternative, tucked away at the end of an alleyway, is a lovely option.

The facade is promising and the interior does not disappoint, with well kept ales and a decent range of wines. The food looks hearty and warming. A super place to wile away a winter evening.

Tucked away at the bottom of Waverton Street, you are not likely to pass the Red Lion by accident. But it is a decent pub, even if the ales on offer are the usual suspects you expect to find in a Spirit Group pub. The staff have always been very friendly whenever I have been in there and the food in the restaurant is good. Expensive - but good. It is most certainly a real pub (rather than just a bar) and in my view is a hidden gem. Highly recommended.
