The Red Lion 📍407 Walworth Rd, London SE17 2AW 🚇 Elephant & Castle 🍺 £3.80 Carling ❤️ A busy high street pub full of local characters. . Across London in the 1930’s the Truman brewery employed the services of architect Arthur Edward Sewell. Some of the finest looking pubs I’ve been too have been designed by his fair hand, one of his pubs that survives is here at The Red Lion in Walworth. Pub architecture may not be everyone’s cup of tea but just think about how much money, effort and ultimately love went in to creating these social places to sell beer to the masses. Here you can just marvel at this majestic 1930’s built pub, you cannot help but admire the stone work, the art deco accents and the imposing nature of this pub. . This pub is situated on busy Walworth Road and about a fifteen minute walk from Elephant & Castle Tube. On arrival, I starting taking a few photos outside and then about thirty lads cycled by popping wheelies on both sides of the road, it looked cool but it was an accident waiting to happen. . I proceeded in to the pub and ordered a beer, the choice was limited and I decided on a pint of Carling. I’m not really a fan of Carling but at under £4 was fair enough and my pint was ok. This was the busiest pub I had been in all day, maybe that’s down to location but I think more so it’s popularity. I was look for a pew as there was nowhere to sit, so I asked this fella if it was ok to sit at his table. He excepted and I ended up having a great chat with Michael a very informed and knowledgeable chap but unfortunately he was a Liverpool fan 😬. We ended putting the world to rights over a pint, one of the most purest things to do in a pub. . There was a good crowd in on this Saturday afternoon and a great buzz about this proper locals boozer. Everyone was either deep in conversation or fixed on the footy scores on the huge screen in the corner of the pub. There were Lots of characters in here and every now and then roars of laughter would come from different parts of the pub. . The decor was all you want a proper pub to be, a lot of which was original. Dark panelling around the walls, slightly low lit and behold the red carpet which seals the deal for me. This pub featured in the film Dom Hemingway with a scene with Jude Law & Richard E Grant, I put the clip in my bio so you can have a look. . Walworth has proven to be a great place to experience and enjoy locals pubs. The big bonus here is the setting, this is old Trumans boozer is full of character and characters. If you fancy going a bit of piste and finding a pub that reminds you of London pubs of old, The Red Lion is a wonderful example of a proper London pub. . 📊 Information correct on visiting 05/03/22

Stopped by for tea and cake. Refused to serve me tea in my reusable cup saying unhygienic. I politely explained that can fill a reusable cup without touching it using a tray or mug. Really odd and rude response that coffee flown across world and so why was I fussing about disposable cups. Has to be the worst response I've had about this. FYI I asked for tea not coffee and coffee generally shipped by ship not plane! And one bad doesn't justify another. Real shame

If it's the only place open and you're hungry, go for it. But! They mix up the wrong people's orders and don't seem to listen carefully enough. E.g. the lady before me wanted chips covered with may and ketchup and I wanted plain chips with salt and vinegar: they got them the wrong way around which I only discovered once I got home......!! When I wanted literally a portion of chips and some grilled halloumi, they first started making a halloumi wrap which I didn't want, and then charge me £5.50 for a few slices of grilled halloumi, even when I politely said it was too expensive... Not good service sadly.........

Best cafe I’ve ever come across and I regularly eat out a good few times a week. Amazing food presentations and portions. Great services but best of all it’s an absolute great value for money. Nothing beats this cafe hands down winner!

I made the mistake of ordering grilled fish. Apparently I was supposed to have told the waiter when ordering that I did not want the fish too dry. The grilled fish was hard and dry. It was a waste of money and response from the guy who served us was very unprofessional even though he was a likeable character. Won't be going back here.

Having bought Hunter Davies book, “ London Parks” I decided to visit this hidden gem park. The temperature was quite cool so was pleased to find the cafe to warm up and have a delicious coffee and cinnamon bun. Worth a visit as very historic with a nice lake and alms houses that are really pretty ❤️

He pedido pescado egusi. El egusi era acuoso sin aceite de palma y sin sabor. Tuve que tener algunos maggi. Llamé para informar de mi decepción y, después de escucharme, la persona que hablaba por teléfono ni siquiera se disculpó y le dijo que esperara hablar con el chef. Esperé unos segundos y la línea se cortó. Tenían mi número cuando ordené, pero no se molestaron en devolverme la llamada.
