Red Lion in City of London, Westminster

Excellent pub. Good service, good beers, I stuck with the Pride. Got really busy, packed, but still didn't wait to be served. Would definitely visit again if I'm in Piccadilly. Little gem of a boozer.

A glorious crystal box of decorative Victorian pub. This old world wealth neighbourhood pub is a feast for the eyes. Every wall is panelled in beautifully decorative cut glass set into carved decorated wood, leading into archways, partitions & a superb, original cloud central bar. This local pub has London street drinking before a stunning, decortively cut glass door into an unassuming, proper London public house. There's a single piece deep patterned ceiling to tap decorative panel coving over perimeter perching for a friendly, calm group of local friends & residents. This is a cut diamond of beautiful vintage pub heritage.

Pub is in St James not Mayfair.

Gorgeous traditional pub in the heart of London

This is the most disgusting place I ever seen in my life the food is disgusting and the workers are RACISTS and they are mean

Bad, I went in and was surprised that the cashier was harassing me in an unclear way. I will not repeat the experience again.

Lovely mulled apple juice and rum

Small but perfectly formed Fullers pub. The London Pride was excellent.

One of my favorite pubs in London. Best Guinness pint in the city!

A typical London pub with a great atmosphere. Great interiors. Delicious beer. We recommend!

Quick service even when it’s busy.

Edificio catalogado, construido en 1821. Pub inglés en su esencia. Hermoso interior. Buena selección de cervezas de barril y comida de pub local.

Nipped in for a quick drink after work. Feels more spit and sawdust than trendy, which is absolutely fine for what it is. Patrons mostly spilled out the front as it was a lovely evening. Wife and I enjoyed a bottle of wine - was very reasonably priced for the area. Stairs to the toilets are narrow and cramped, and the inside overall felt somewhat confined, but I guess in winter it would feel cozy! Good crowd and atmosphere. Nice place for a drink, and easy on the pocket if you're a regular!

Not far from Buckingam, at lunchtime the pub was quiet. Reasonable price compared to other pubs.

Not worth going there, not very clean and rude staff

Lovely Fullers pub with lots of either original or beautifully restored victorian/ edwardian features.

Good location, reasonable selection of drinks, good place for a drink after work.

Liked here a lot. Kinda tucked away. Have been past many times but never visited. Finally had the moment to cross the threshold. Very glad I did.

A hidden historic gem in central London it's very busy and full of suits most of the year but if you get in you will want to stay and soak up that unique London pub atmosphere enjoy a pint of London pride cheers Simon

Wednesday 17.30. No Pride. Wow. Prices have increased. Service appallingly slow. Closed back half of bar. Staff have mastered the art of not looking at the customers. Many grumpy customers

Fantastic staff very friendly and a great atmosphere, Pretty old as well arpund 240 yrs 🤣🤣 awesome 👍😎

Great place to meet your mates before having Lunch is what I use it for and the beer is good too 😀👍🍺

Time-honored pub, service not attentive. Staff preferred to use their cell phones rather than clear up the leftovers from previous customers.

£7.45 for a pint of peroni, May ‘24

Hidden gem from 1820s, with great beer in a lovely, old building. Tiny, and fills up fast though.

A lovely little pub, be prepared to stand - possibly outside as there isn't much room. Situated on the corner of historic Jermyn St, it has plenty of character (and characters!). Good selection of beer on tap.

Very unpleasant pub with rude and unhelpful staff. The stated opening hours are false. They claim to be open until 10pm, but I arrived there to join some friends on 04/03/24 and they just said the bar was closed at 9.30pm and refused any service. Their opening hours should state that they close at 9.30pm. The real issue is that the staff hate their jobs and don’t want to be there. They just want to get rid of everyone quickly so they can go home. Very unfriendly and unwelcoming. Avoid this pub. Instead try the much nicer Chequers Bar, Three Crowns Pub or St James Bar - all within a 2 minute walk and much nicer than the Red Lion (or should I say the ‘Red Lying’)

Decent pint and barman was fantastic. Build up of uric acid on urinals a bit off-putting though.

Cracking place for late lunch drinks, just mind the steps to the gents.

Lovely little pub, good atmosphere, can't comment on the food as we weren't eating there.

It's a decent boozer but closes at 10pm, even on a Saturday

Hadn't been here for ages, as not my usual part of town, but will make sure that doesn't happen again. Beer was tip top. I had HSB and Hophead and my friend had the London Pride. The pub was pleasantly busy but service was quick. They take cash too as well as card which seems to becoming rarer.

Real gem of an old pub in the heart of London

Nice looking place but all the ales and the Guinness were off, the toilets were in a state, they stopped serving at 9 (even though the pub was busy) and were annoyingly pushy when asking us to leave, immediately after the bar had closed. Bad vibe.

Delightful old pub tucked away behind Piccadilly. Lovely pint of ESB and a nice mix of people. A proper pub!

Very old and small traditional pub. One of the few remaining if not only remaining original Gin places. Worth a visit for the mirrors and nostalgia. Excellent bar staff, thanks. 👍😎

Very small, very packed pub Staff made us welcome

Well kept beers, and beautiful original decor. Will be back!

We only stopped to have a beer, and it was a good one, a very lovely typical british pub, perfect for having a beer and a nice talk after work or making a stop in your daily trip.

Demasiada gente, no hemos podido tomar nada.

Simple street boozer - quick service and good beer

Bellissimo locale storico. Abbiamo mangiato un ottimo Fish & Chips.. servizio veloce e cortese. Consigliatissimo..

Un pub magnifique !! Un personnel très sympa, une bonne Guinness et de délicieux sandwichs. On a passé un excellent moment 😊

Sehr entspannte Atmosphäre, gute Auswahl und netter Service

Real pini in a real Old London Pub.

Good for drinks. Didn't have any food.

Small pub hidden away down an alleyway!

Great little place to grab a pint after work

One of my favourite pubs. It's tiny, it's cute, it's classic.

What a wonderful, comfortable, intimate traditional bar and pub! This is the perfect place for a cold pint or a lovely cocktail with friends or alone to read and watch the world go by.

Great pub in a great location with awesome staff and a great selection of beers and spirits.

Very beautiful old pub, excellent pint of hophead pale. Very lovely early Saturday lunchtime

Nice 18th century pub in Mayfair. Good selection of beers. Friendly staff

Lovely traditional pub in the heart of london.

I was desperately looking for a pub for a drink and possibly some food in this area during the 2023 Pride parade, in central London today. Once inside, it's a very small pub but the staff were working hard to serve everybody and I had a delicious pint of London Pride and some snacks - and was made welcome by some other people at a table. Good place to find!

Small but super historic pub. Great Fuller's products on tap.

My favourite London pub. Perfect for a pint at lunchtime Sumner or Winter

Always a lively place for a drink with the business crowd.

Exquisite interior etched glass panels.

Been a customer for 40 years, great pup.

Cozy little place, beautiful atmosphere. No food served here.

Great London Victorian pub, atmospheric.

No cash, card only and dubious looking bar staff, it's goodbye from me and my chums.

Great little pub off Jermyn Street.

Brilliant pub, just the same as in the old days

Among the best Red Lions in London 🌟

Glorious pub! Stunning interior.

Great find,will definitely be returning.

Top central London traditional pub with a pint of beer under a fiver!

Proper pub. A London boozer. Albeit slightly upmarket!

No doubt this used to be an incredible establishment. Hopefully again soon.

De lo mejor que hay en el centro de londres,cervezas de todas marcas y la encargada Marisa súper amable y atenta

Really good atmospheric pub with well kept pints of Pride!

A real pub. Friendly staff, good atmosphere and superb LONDON PRIDE.

Nice pub just a short distance from St James Square, lovely staff and a well stocked bar. Well worth a visit if you are in the area

Been there, everybody was stressed ,foot took ages even was ok for such a tourist Location … 2 stars just for the Environment

Solid British pub near Jermyn Street

Ok atmosphere. £7.10 for a pint. A bit too Mayfair.

A magnificient pub. The staff is the most professional i've met and the landlady Marisa is such a lovely host. 100% recommended!

A very nice little pub with friendly staff. Top dollar.

Charming British pub which, thankfully, has not gone the route of a lot of pubs by introducing huge menus and gimmicky drinks.

This pub was bustling when we visited. They have an excellent selection of casked beer, as well as other draft beers. The pub is very lovely inside.

We see ze’d eee D Ed dad dad we we

The food and service are AMAZING !

Severely disappointed in the customer service by this venue. We made a booking of their private room over a month ago. This was reconfirmed the day prior and today we have turned up and it has been turned away! The confirmation email provided to us was our correct booking time but this has been entered incorrectly on their side through no fault of our own, we have now lost this booking without even being contacted prior to giving it away. We have 40+ attendees now to turn away who were meant to be celebrating and disappointed. Wouldn’t pop in here for a poo even if I was busting.

Good food, good beer, great service!

Full and pretty expensive but the beer was good and the staff efficient.

Fantastic small pub in Mayfair. Fabulous mirrored interior and moulded plaster ceiling. Good range of cask ales. Well worth a visit. Lady behind the bar was really friendly and absolutely worked her socks off, along with her colleague. Really impressed. Apparently food is only served until 3pm. Recommended.

Great spot with a good selection of pints. The Guinness and Pride were great. It has a cosy back bar that’s nice to stand in.

Decent little pubbette. Fills after work hours with shirt and tie guys but doesn't feel rammed like other similar places.

Service was friendly but my beer wasn't cold enough and wasn't served all that well.

Good prices with a local pub / old school vibe.

Pub OK staff could have been friendlier

One of the West End's best old boozers.

Great little Fuller pub, not much space but good beer and good service.

Traditional British pub which excels in the summer. Great for after work pints (I used to work on St James Sq). Great pints of London Pride. A little bit cramped inside but that adds to the charm. Good service from knowledgeable bartenders.

Good beer and gin selection. Fish and chips very tasty. Beautiful pub! Etched glass exceptional, wood work adds cozy feel. Busy at times but not overcrowded meat market in late afternoon. Have visited several times when in London and hope to visit again. What an American thinks a pub should be like!

While the inside drinking area is on the small side, I would prefer the phrase, 'cosy'. It also means every gets served quickly :)

If you're lucky and it's sunny and not too busy, you can snag a standing area outside, which is a nice way to enjoy a cold drink in the sun.

Always a good pint. Bit tight on space, but part of the appeal.
