Photo Coming SoonThe Blue Lion is centrally located in Holborn close to Russell Square tube station, a ten minute walk in one direction and Kings X, St Pancras and Chancery Lane to the other.  The original Blue Lion was built across the road from here in the 1600’s and rebuilt in it's present position in 1824. Charles Dickens was known to frequent the pub and the Charles Dickens House Museum is just a three minute walk away.  The ITV studios are across the road and we are frequented from time to time by today's famous faces!   People in the area are attracted to this venue by the female friendly atmosphere and the very warm welcome here.  This is a more traditional pub with a contemporary feel to it. Having had a 'sparkle' in September 2007 this one bar operation has newly reupholstered furnishings, mainly in leather effect.  There are two big leather sofas with a coffee table which is ideal for a relaxing drink alone or with friends.  Having Cask Marque accreditation you can be sure your real ale will be served to perfection.  Food is served from a main and special pie menu throughout the day Monday – Thursday.  A pizza menu is available after the main menu in the evening and all day Saturday.  You are welcome to dine throughout the pub.  Come and join the regular clientele who have an age range of 20+ to the more mature in this comfortable place which is great for lunchtime drinks, meal, snack or an after work get together.
