Thomas and the amazing staff were welcoming and so hospitable. This hospitality was only beat by the incredible food and wine at a ridiculously fantastic price point. I was staying in the area and searched for a top fish and chip option. Their version did not only disappoint but excelled an already high expectation. I was sold on the red lion by reading these reviews and now I want to make the best one possible. Well done Tom and team. I will be back when next in London!

This is hands down the best pub in London. Wonderful staff, terrific grub, and the host for the evening, Tom, was just terrific. Could not recommend more highly. 10/10 I will be back

The Red Lion was everything we hoped to find. Historical, inviting, friendly and great beer choices. So many Red Lion pubs in London, this is one of the best.

A great little pub on the corner of Wilson Street offering a fine array of both cask and keg ales. The Red Lion is a lovely offering from Greene King. Friendly, traditional and welcoming. The service is great and with a smile. A lovely twist on the menu offering the 'invisible Mac' to give support to cancer patients. A menu option, so positive and discretionary, well done.

Lovely quaint, authentic and typical English pub. Draught beer was nice and the sharing platter delicious. We sat upstairs and had the place to ourselves to begin with. We were regularly checked on, in case we needed anything, which was lovely. They could have easily forgotten about us, after all we had paid for our food and drink at the point of ordering. Very impressed and would definitely recommend a visit here.
