Red Lion Pub
The Red Lion public house was built on the corner of Great Windmill Street and Archer Street c. 1793. In November 1847, the Communist League held their second congress in a room above the bar and it was here that Karl Marx and Frederick Engels submitted their proposals for writing the Communist Manifesto. The Red Lion pub closed in c.1998 and the building is now (2013) the 'Be At One' Cocktail Bar and Lounge.

And wounds the earth, if nothing else, with rage
To be o’erpowered.”
