The pub is quite spacious, and very nicely decorated. A good place to go with friends, because the music, while present, isn't so loud as to not let you hear what the others say, so no screaming necessary.
I had mulled wine, and I liked it very much. It was very nice, and rich in flavour, served warm (not very hot). Still, it was very warming and great for this cold winter weather :)

What a fabulous wedding I recently attended at this lovely London pub. The decor was gorgeous, the food was super delicious and the staff were great. Big thanks to Mike, Alex & Sophie who were on hand to attend to our every needs. Can't wait to come back to sample more of your fine food & booze...cheers!!
My niece Millie and her husband Shane chose the White Lion as the venue for their wedding. What a wonderful place.The atmosphere was great, the staff friendly and efficient and the food was delicious. Highly recommended
Me and my gym
buddy went for dinner and drinks. The service was good and food was excellent. We were serviced by a delightful lady called Sofia with a smile.

We had our daughter and son in law’s wedding reception here and booked the entire space. It was a very special place for them as it was where they met. The venue was perfect in that it had four different spaces - an area for their blessing, a bar to mingle in, a grand dining room and conservatory to seat over 60 in our case and a gorgeous, sunny garden. The Old White Lion is not a conventional pub with smaller rooms and lots of nooks and crannies, it is charming building with open plan spaces that all connect, full of period features, vibrant decor and provided a gorgeous backdrop for a celebration such as this. Mike, Alex and the team bent over backwards to get everything just as we wanted it and worked tirelessly to achieve this (with smiles on their faces). They allowed us to decorate and add our own touches and provided entertainment - a fabulous guitarist and singer who took requests and the guests loved! The food was amazing, a choice of wonderful starters and then a very generous roast dinner which was cooked to perfection. The staff attended to everyone’s needs throughout the day and night. Would highly recommend not only for dining and drinks but for celebratory events. Thank you all so much on behalf of Scott and I and of course the happy couple!
My visit to the Old White Lion pub was nothing short of amazing. The food was not just good; it was exceptional. I opted for the chicken schnitzel, which was cooked to perfection, and my girlfriend savored a wonderfully roasted sweet potato dish that was a delightful surprise.
What truly stood out was the fantastic atmosphere in this pub. It felt like a cozy haven, with an ambiance that was both welcoming and vibrant. The garden, in particular, was a gem. It was beautifully designed, creating a perfect backdrop for our meal. It was both beautiful and incredibly cozy, making our dining experience truly enjoyable.
I can't recommend the Old White Lion enough. If you're looking for great food, a fantastic atmosphere, and a beautiful garden to dine in, this place is a must-visit. I'll definitely be returning, and I can confidently give it a well-deserved 5-star rating.
I went in for a quick social meet with friends. I was so relieved that there was free parking. Inside was spacious and it looked like a good venue for a group meal. So next time I'll use public transport and stay longer and for more.
Visited here last week to meet an old friend and thought it was amazing. Great ambience beautiful outdoor seating area and great service by the staff, particularly Sophie.
Would recommend if you are in the area, I will be back.
Had my wedding here as it was the place me and my now wife first met. Great venue ,great staff and great food. Nothing was too much trouble. Both Mike and Alex were the perfect hosts! Highly recommend.
I went to have food on Sunday with my family and we had a lovely waitress Sophie who attended to all our needs. The food was great and the atmosphere was very uplifting. Thank you very much for your hospitality!
Absolutely wonderful time for my dads birthday (we did a semi private hire and had our own large area for 80+ guests). The staff were incredible and all the guests had a great time. Food was delicious and service was great especially given it was such a busy day. We would 100% recommend and can’t thank the team enough, especially Alex, Liam (and a lovely lady who I’m so sorry but I can’t remember her name!).
Nice little pub nestled in Finchley off the main road, can easily miss it.
Came in the later afternoon just for drinks and had a pleasant time. Nice range menu and good drink selection especially Belgian and craft beers. Food looked good but didn't order. The outdoor seating was basic but nice with heaters and covered. Ordering was easy and staff were very pleasant.
Removed 1 star because bathrooms were filthy and overall place needed a good clean in my opinion. Still would recommend a visit though.
If you liked my review give it a 👍 and feel free to follow me on Google maps for more drinks and food related reviews!
Great since the refurb! Have been here a few times with friends and our kids (age range 1 years-5 years). Very family friendly! Baby changing loo under lock& key luckily so clean and spacious. Amazing staff! They were so understanding with my weaning baby led kid and even gave us some extra strawberries with our dessert as she wanted some. Honestly great service and I thought the Sunday Roast was very good!
Have also been for drinks with just the mums from our NCT group and honestly the staff were really kind in ensuring we got an outside table (given we hadn’t been out out in a year)
Great drinks and a lovely pub! The food is amazing and I would definitely reccomend coming here for a meal as well as a drink as the menu is quite big with different options and tastes great.
Good food
Lovely venue
Service bit slow due to young stuff probably,and place need bit of care as you can find spiderwebs older than the building.
Other than that 5 ⭐️ ( as encouragement)
Went yesterday for a Christmas family gathering. The food was amazing. Loved it all and they even gave me a bowl of pigs in blankets on the side. They did well serving 19 of us and everyone got the correct orders. Would highly recommend.
I really enjoyed the food and the drinks but we did have someone at the table who was a coeliac. The menus did not indicate if any of the meals were gluten free and when logging onto glass onion, it did not provide any information regarding gluten content. We love the white Lion and would like for more GF options if possible please
Great service, delicious food. We ordered the award winning pale ale and beef pie (it's definitely a must if you drop by). Also the beer battered fish and chips was really really good, probably the best fish and chips I've tasted.
My family and I have been regular customers at The Old White Lion over the last few years. I must say your staff are one of the main reasons why we keep going back again and again. A special shout out to Alex who is a credit to the business and gets a 10 out of 10 from us. Thank you Alex and keep up the good work.
