Red Lion
640 High Rd Leytonstone
There surely aren’t many corner pubs that were founded in 1670 under the name “Robin Hood” and renamed in 1754 into “Red Lion.” This one was, and as such bears a long history. Bands like Led Zeppelin, Genesis and Roxy Music performed here in the ’70s. After a closure, the pub has reopened its doors and been given a new lease on life. Old and new meet inside, whilst the garden is furnished with wooden furniture and a cinema screen. This gastropub is happening at any time of day.a
