Description
The Red Lion Public House is a public house located on the corner of Parliament Street and Derby Gate in the City of Westminster, dating from around 1890. It features a ground floor made of Portland stone and granite, topped by a slate roof, and is designed in an eclectic Flemish Baroque style. The building has four storeys and a gabled attic, with a narrow single bay front facing Parliament Street and a five-window return along Derby Gate. The ground floor maintains its original public house frontage, which includes basket handle arched bar windows and a corner entrance beneath a deep entablature-fascia, with cut and frosted glass. Above the public house front on both streets, there are mullioned-transomed windows and pilaster mullioned two-storey oriels. The building is adorned with string courses and a shaped gable featuring sculpture at the top. Inside, the pub retains most of its original fittings, including screens and shaped pediment shelving.
