...handy for the House..
	RED LION	LONDON SW1A 2NH	48 Parliament Street (Whitehall)
	As far as location is concerned the Red Lion is hard to beat, midway between the House of Commons and Downing Street. It is the closest and certainly the best pub near No.10. This is a classic turn-of-the- century pub. The long narrow ground floor bar has a counter and fittings of solid polished mahoganny. Glassware includes pretty etched and cut glass screens and mirrors. There are also some beautiful etched and cut mirrors.	Prints with a political theme cover the walls. The tv shows parliamentary broadcasts from the House (thankfully mute) and there's a division bell for those important votes, so MP's needn't miss a thing. This is a popular pub and always busy, particularly at lunchtimes. Finding a spot to eat can be difficult, however there is a dining room upstairs and a cellar bar.
