The Red Lion
“Matches your preference for quiet, immersive environments. This venue's atmosphere aligns with your saved favorites.”
L'ambiance
Tucked right across from Ealing Studios, The Red Lion has been a secret hangout for film folks since the 1960s—locals still call it "Stage 6" as an inside joke. It's got that perfect old-school pub feel with mismatched furniture and exposed brick, but the kitchen has seriously stepped up its game with proper steak nights and a menu that actually makes you want to stay for dinner. Skip the tourist traps and come here for a proper pint in a space that feels like it's been part of the neighborhood for decades.

A Local's Favorite Across from Ealing Studios
The Red Lion in West Ealing is one of those rare pubs that feels genuinely local rather than touristy. Located right across from Ealing Studios, it's no surprise that film industry folks have been coming here for decades—some say James Blunt even has a regular spot here. The interior is exactly what you'd want from a traditional London pub: mismatched furniture, exposed brick, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that doesn't try too hard.
What really sets it apart is the kitchen. They do proper Steak Mondays with a dedicated menu and 25% off wine bottles, which is rare for a pub this size. The staff are friendly without being overbearing, and the beer selection is solid. It's not flashy, but it's got character in spades.
If you're looking for a place to grab a pint before catching a film at the nearby studios, or just want to experience what a real neighborhood pub feels like, this is it. Skip the chains and come here for the authentic London pub experience.
