Reviews


Located at the eastern border of the City of London, this traditional pub offers a great atmosphere and value for money. With no frills and large portions of chips, it provides a perfect place for a diverse clientele. The friendly staff and good selection of gins make for a pleasant experience, even accommodating a small group of customers who stayed for an extra round. Despite the noise from Christmas drinkers, the friendly service and excellent food presentation make this pub stand out for its well-done, traditional fare, The Lion typically has an average rating of 4.6.

Had lunch with coworkers and couldn't find any faults. The sandwich menu was both reasonably priced and delicious. I highly recommend it.
