Tucked away down a side street in the ever-so-posh St. James's, The Red Lion is a charming boozer. Its age and location may suggest a you'd encounter a soulless dive aimed purely at tourists, but by and large this is as genuine and a genial a pub as you'll find. The TV is muted on and there's no music, but what you do get is well-kept beer (Adnam's/Tribute), a cracking selection of whiskies and excellent sandwiches, all served up by some of the politest bar staff in town. It also helps that many of the punters - from businessmen to builders - are up for a natter. Granted, it can get very busy on weeknights (try for a seat upstairs if so) but it's a handy hideaway of a Saturday. If you're after a warm and comfortable pub, give The Red Lion a look. (Closed Sunday).

Though the food was less than mediocre, but it was served to us quickly. It was easy to get a seat.
