About The Red Lion

A 1930s pub on the Walworth Road designed by pub architect Sewell, run by Cityglen Pub Company, popular for televised football and a relaxed, unfussy local feel.

The Red Lion is a 1930s pub building on the Walworth Road, designed by the architect Sewell in the improved interwar house style typical of the period's more comfortable, family-oriented pubs. It's run today by Cityglen Pub Company, a small operator with a handful of London pubs, and trades as a straightforward, sport-focused local — big screens for major football fixtures, a relaxed crowd, and a no-frills drinks range rather than any food-led ambitions. It sits roughly midway between Walworth's Elephant & Castle end and the East Street Market end of the road.
