| The ales are very well kept and the welcome was warm and attentive but the magic of this Victorian gem is its amazing, glittering interior. Built in 1821 (although the frontage was rebuilt in 1871) the Red Lion is a tiny pub appearing much bigger inside by the fabulous glittering cut glass and gilded mirrors lining the walls. It is a wonderful Victorian treasure hidden down a backstreet in St James, just off Piccadilly. Part of my ‘Victorian Splendour’ pub crawl - see link below. BobOs - 28 Sep 2011 11:04 |
| Fullers always on good form, but certain bar staff will make you ask for a full pint. dan76uk - 2 Sep 2011 10:28 |
| A nice, small, old fashioned pub with just enough buzz for me to wonder why other places bother with canned music. The full range of Fuller's beers. 16jamesdoc - 16 Jul 2011 11:59 |
| A fantastic little pub and my favourite place to while away a Saturday afternoon. All the usual Fullers ales on draft and kept to the usual high standard. Staff are pleasant and attentive. A classic London pub decor wise which adds to the overall charm. Can be very busy at times as really is little but well worth a visit. Jazz_Messenger - 16 Jan 2011 18:06 |
| Nice little pub, dont let a crowd outside put you off - I ventured round the back of the bar and there are seats there..........nice mirrors and dark red interiour - interesting place. Shame shut on weekends. adamwalsh - 10 Sep 2010 18:58 |
