This is my local, not far from where I live. I go about 2 or 3 times a week, with my boyfriend or other friends.
It's a small corner pub, at the north end of Red Lion Street, near the junction with the Theobald's Road. It's triangular in shape, and small and cozy. The pub is only big enough for about 30 people at one time, with 4 tables and benches along one side (6 people each), and bar stools. There are 3 tables in the passage-way outside, which are nice in the summer.
They sell the normal variety of pub drinks, and take cards if the bill is more than £10. As in all British pubs,
you go to the bar, order and pay for your drinks, and take them away - you'll wait a long time for someone to come to your table and serve you!
After the pub shuts at 11pm, you can roll the 5 yards across Lamb's Conduit passage to the Tandoori King curry house, (reveiwed separately), and carry on drinking during a traditional British after-pub meal (-:
The pub suffered some damage during a Zepplin raid in the First World War, and one wall of the pub has the clock that was in the pub at the time, stopped at 10:50, the time of day the bombs were dropped!
The nearest tube to the pub is Holborn (Piccadilly and Central lines.) The pub's about 5 minutes walk north of here - via Procter Street and Red Lion Square.
