The Red Lion is a smallish but snug Victorian pub lined with lovely ornate etched mirrors. The dark wood bar is roughly oval and right in the middle of the pub, dividing it into front and back sections. Wooden columns and shelves top the bar. The shelves themselves hold glasses and are decorated with beer coasters and information cards describing beers that have been served in the past. On our visit in early evening, it was packed to dense standing room only.

The ceilings are tall and covered in embossed cream-color designs. Except for a few tables and short stools in the front room, beer railings and a few bar stools are the only seating/place to rest your beer. An interesting narrow Victorian cast iron staircase at the back leads to the WC.

Real ale beer selection is quite good. On our visit: Black Sheep, Timothy Taylor Landlord, Fuller’s London Pride, Jennings Cumberland, Batemans (not sure which), and Autumn Nites (not sure of the brewery).
