Nothing fancy here but good value pub grub with their own brewed beers on tap. Cheaper than other pubs in area and plenty of vegetarian options.
Depending on what you expect from a place in Soho, your opinion may vary greatly about Red Lion. I really liked the place. Decent prices, nice vibe, nice staff. I was downstairs where only drinks are served but upstairs has THE vibe. Cozy! The only thing missing was some background music, especially upstairs. It didn't really make so much difference when you heard people talking and laughing though. It became a little odd when there were not too many people. Awkward.
Anyway, I decided to go for 4 instead of 5 stars just because of the toilet. The fact that the ladies room is located upstairs with no sign to indicate so is not a 10/10 idea. It's not convenient on many levels, starting with girls being lost, having a painful period, to being pregnant. It's really not comfortable (though the toilets were really nice and clean). Some would say you don't go to pubs when you're pregnant but when you wish to have a nice time in a quieter place in Soho and have food (don't forget that it's only served upstairs), it may become problematic. In my opinion, it's just something that may cause trouble which could already be avoided a long time ago.
Overall, highly recommended.
Best fish ans chips we had in London !
Nice staff and very warm place in the old traditional pub style
