Beautifully kept old school pub. A hum of conversation & a convivial atmosphere - and the beer was spot on. George Orwell would have approved

Popped in her on the way to St James park for a quick pint. Very cosy in the bar area and the proprietress was very friendly and chatty. Good selections of drinks and although I didn’t go upstairs but I believe there was seating. The gents toilet is downs small flight of step where the ladies is up a flight of steps. It was a hot day but the pub was very cool. Nice refreshing pint helped as well. Would go back.

The service there is horrible and there is no respect for the customer. They must change their treatment, especially with Muslims. I will never go there, never again

An ancient pub tucked away in an alleyway opposite the Palaces. A likely haunt of Palace servants for centuries. Genuine beer in a genuine setting. Perfect for a pint of ale.

Lovely back street pub. Thankfully hidden away from most tourists and very dog friendly. The ale here is always spot on, the price £11.80 for 2 pints Theirs 3 to choosefrom. Down stairs is always packed so go up stairs and sit down and enjoy your beer.

A hidden away little gem of a place. I was staying close by during a visit to London and luckily discovered this truly authentic pub. For atmosphere, good beer and very friendly staff it would be hard to better the Red Lion in Crown Passage. Seek it out, even it means a tube journey to get there!

Found this pub while in Pall Mall and dropped in for a drink rally liked the fact it was an old pub I had an Addams and my daughter had a white wine the price was not bad considering where we were (I have payed more back home ) some reviews have said the staff are rude I didn’t experience this I thought they just got on with their job in a professional manner,I want to go back here on my next visit to London .The beer was very nice .

Delightful old pub, unspoiled, real and lovely. Two young ladies working the bar were friendly and polite. Several wines by the glass and a couple of cask ales as well (Otter and Tribute). Two old fellows getting mashed at the bar added to the character of the place. It's a great pub.

Absolute rudest staff. Rolling their eyes the minute we arrived. Sarcastic comments when we asked if they were still open as we felt so unwelcome. When complained on social media we were told we got the wrong pub??? It’s obvious the whole establishment are rude and don’t care. Not worth anyone’s money.

Didn't even managed to get to the bar. Two members of staff sat down. A group of 10 of us arrived and we were greeted with rolling eyes and a loud sigh. I asked if they were still serving and all I got back was a sarcastic "Yes, I can close if you like". Couldn't believe how rude they were and decided to leave immediately.

Quirky little pub under covered walkway just off Pall Mall. Came across this place almost by accident. Looking for somewhere for a couple of drinks and sit down to get out of the sun. Pleasant atmosphere. Friendly welcome. Not much seating as a small place, but that's what it is. Ladies toilet up two/three flights of stairs. It's like a converted house. Interesting little place.

She has a rude attitude, feel sorry for the young staff she moans at….got a refund, no food, next pub

Couple of pints after work with colleagues. Nice cosy little pub hidden away near Pall Mall. Not a huge beer selection, but what they do have is well served and good quality. Seemed to be a mixture of passing trade and regular characters, and wasn't as heaving as some as it is a little off the beaten track.

This pub is not for you if you’re averse to funding bigotry and cruelty. My family visited here and now one of our indelible London memories will be this bartender making multiple homophobic slurs at a member of our family who was in no way provoking it. Then, gently given the opportunity to walk it back, he doubled down. Shame on Red Lion for tolerating, thereby implicitly endorsing, this behaviour.

We watched the coronation here, The police closed access to the vising areas very early in the morning. It was a good experience friendly place, bit noisy some not watching the small TV, the reason most of us went to London this weekend, to see the coronation. We will return here next time we visit London, for a drink ,Thanks to all the staff working very hard, so many people trying to get in out of the rain , some not even buying a drink

Old school boozer in central. This is not your typical Mayfair haunt, lovely panelling and ornamental decor with real ales gives you a full London boozer experience! Good ales on draught and some generic lagers. We only stayed for a quick drink but the staff were friendly and the place was nice and clean and not too busy!

Proper old-fashioned pub, tucked down an alley in St James’s. Something of a time warp. Don’t get too excited about the beer (no cask ale), and the prices are steep (as elsewhere), but even so it’s one of the best pubs in central London, and miles better than most of the options nearby

Went to this pub with three friends on a Friday night in November 2022. They refused to serve any drinks after 10pm because "the staff had had a long day." Beware - the 11pm closing time is flexible. Every chance the owner might close the bar whenever he likes. Bar staff also surly. Will never go back here.

Food was good (large portions, too) and a good selection of ales etc. The staff was terrific. Don't be put off if there is a huge crowd on the street...that's the after work crowd having a pint...lots of room inside to dit down and have a meal
