I hadn't been in here before tonight, despite being a Londoner and having worked round the corner some years ago. A Nicholson's house but not as dear as might have been expected. Not a bad pint of Jennings Cumberland Ale although a tad too cold for my liking. Friendly and attentive bar staff.

Very pleasant little pub but with the ability to become very crowded as it's small and also on one of the Ale Trail maps. Several beers on including Betty Stogs.

Beautiful interior. Jennings' cumberland ale, Pride and Tim Taylor all very well kept indeed on last visit.

The only problem with the place, in particular given it's size and shape, is that it is almost always busy, perhaps a victim of it's own success and too busy, but cracking pub.

They don't get much better than this for quality of beer. An excellent selection of ales, well kept with a good mix of local and guest ales. The staff are happy to give you a free taster before you buy. Some cracking Everard's 'Pitch Black' stout and Caledonian's 'Tried and Tested' were available the other day. Robinson's Old Tom and Batemans XB coming soon. But you've got to be quick; the stuff sells quickly.
A pleasure too to go to a pub where the landlord is happy to spend time to talk about his beers and do so with a passion for the subject.
Long may the Red Lion continue.

Forgot to mention in my earlier review that I don't think this pub is open on Sunday - you might want to check if planning a visit on that day
