Golden Lion 51 Dean Street, London W1D 5BH

"Great pub for watching sports in Soho. Drinks are reasonably priced and staff are attentive, so you're not waiting long at the bar. Often busy, but not as crazy busy as other pubs around"

"A lovely small pub in Central London which has fresh cooked food. The menu was limited but the food ordered was cooked to perfection. Polite staff and welcoming environment"

"Fabulous old London local. Has the look and feel you hope for in a local pub. Thanks too, to Javier for the friendly welcome and chat,which added to the pleasure of the visit. We all enjoyed our visit, including overseas friends, and the traditional pub food was also enjoyed by all."

"Nice atmosphere to escape the crowd of Oxford Street. Food is delicious but it’s all self-service. Prices are quite good for the location!"

"Not allowed if you're with a baby... Edit: Thank you for your response. I can understand that for children who can walk - the liability for injury is too great to ignore. Now our case. My son is still a baby and can't walk yet. We only wanted a warm pub to have a pint or two with our friends, after we had lunch in a restaurant nearby. What upset me was the tone that the bartender addressed me with. He was rude. Almost implying that I'm not right in my mind and I should have known that I'm not allowed to bring my baby in. Maybe put a large sign on the door instead of shouting at me. We ended up in O'Neill's which had baby changing facilities too. In the end it worked out fine, after a long walk trying to find an open pub. BTW, your pub was the first that we got rejected from. We've been to numerous pubs with our son. Even during the world cup games."
