Randomness Guide to London - Differences between Version 17 and Version 16 of Old Red Lion, EC1V 4NJ

Nice old-fashioned pub a short walk from Angel Station, between the station and Sadler's Wells.

It has a theatre upstairs and a beer garden of sorts (concrete with benches and tables, but they've painted the walls) out the back. Lots of plush red furniture, quite dark.

Sells reasonable, well-kept beer. In April 2008 a pint of Tim Taylor's Landlord was £3, and they also had Harvey's Sussex Best on tap.

Juliet has most often visited on a Friday or Saturday evening and usually been able to find a seat. However, on the 27 April 2007 (a Friday evening) they were running a very loud DJ evening (ska, mostly) which made the place rather unpleasant. Unsure yet whether this is a permanent feature. It was still reasonably quiet out in the beer garden. Sport is shown on two satellite TVs, and there is a large projection screen too.

Usefully, right opposite Electrowerkz.

Comment added by bob: landlord, pride, harverys sussex best, broadside and abbot ale were on. £3 would seem to be close to the price for all of them
