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.

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or lion:
“I shall go among red faces and virile voices,
See stylish sheep, with fine heads and well-wooled,
And great bulls mellow to the touch,”
—Hugh MacDiarmid (1892–1978)
“Here in the centre stands the glass. Light
Is the lion that comes down to drink. There
And in that state, the glass is a pool.
Ruddy are his eyes and ruddy are his claws
When light comes down to wet his frothy jaws”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
