All In London Review
Just off the beaten hipster track

what it lacks in get-up it makes up for with a good atmosphere
This has never been the new thing and you could imagine it was built with this interesting mess of styles pre-planned. On the edge of Hoxton Square, the multi floors stockpile various brass tables, open fires, installations, mirror balls and printed walls that have been copied all over the area. It’s tatty, but the rough edges set it apart from pubs like the Old Blue Last, which spruced up and lost itself a while ago.
Nothing particularly disguises the fact that it’s a battered old place but what it lacks in get-up it makes up for with a good atmosphere. There’s sixties garage on the stereo and it’s unexpectedly unpretentious for this kind of place. This isn’t the ‘Shoreditch Friday Night’ area so you can avoid big groups and fit in with what tends to be a more mature crowd these days. The beers are standard but cheaper than most and there’s food in the way of pizza and bar snacks.
It’s a good place to start and Hoxton Square’s pleasant in itself but if you do need something a little more affected than the Red Lion then step outside because it’s all on your doorstep.

Best For
Enjoy a drink on London's best rooftops
Drinkies, a great view... what else you could possibly need?
At the corner of Hoxton Square, The Red Lion has long been an attractive option for the curious and the carefree. Rough around the edges, yet packed with charm, the rooftop terrace is the place to find a touch of serenity in crazy old Shoreditch.
London's best beer gardens
While away an afternoon with a pint
Although slightly rough around the edges the higher you climb at the Red Lion, the prettier the place becomes – until you find yourself on the terrace looking out over Hoxton. Sit or stand, partake in the BBQ or don’t, just enjoy the views in on of East London’s finest rooftop gardens.
