Old Red Lion, Historic pub in Holborn, England.

The Old Red Lion features a Victorian architectural design from 1899 with an upstairs room named the Cromwell Bar at 72 High Holborn Street.

In 1660, the pub's yard temporarily held the exhumed bodies of Oliver Cromwell and other Roundheads before their posthumous execution at Tyburn.

The establishment stands as a Grade II listed building, preserving its original Victorian elements and serving as a central gathering place in Holborn.

The pub maintains regular operating hours throughout the week, with extended hours from noon until midnight during weekends for guest convenience.

In 1621, the innkeeper received legal charges for selling oats at prices sixty percent higher than the standard market rates.
