The Red Lion is marking one year since its reopening with a first birthday celebration in its iconic Ballroom and the launch of newly refurbished boutique hotel rooms.
One year on The Red Lion in Leytonstone is celebrating its first anniversary with a must-attend birthday party and the unveiling of its refreshed accommodation.
Reopened in February last year by owners Urban Pubs & Bars, the iconic pub has spent the past twelve months reconnecting with the local community while welcoming new guests through its doors for drinking, dining, dancing and celebrations of all kinds.
To mark the milestone, The Red Lion will host a night to remember on Thursday 12th March.
The evening will take place in the iconic upstairs Ballroom, once home to performances by The Who and Led Zeppelin, and will feature live music, a DJ, free welcome drinks and nibbles, and free entry throughout the night.
Tickets will be available via the pub’s website, inviting locals, neighbours and regulars to come together for a night of celebration.
The anniversary party also shines a spotlight on the Ballroom itself, a striking and historic space that is once again available for private hire. From weddings and birthdays to live music, parties and community events, the Ballroom offers a distinctive setting for celebrations large and small, reinforcing The Red Lion’s role as a flexible events venue at the heart of Leytonstone life.
Over the past year, the pub has hosted a wide range of public and private occasions across its multiple spaces, with the Ballroom, garden and The Den all proving popular for gatherings, parties and late-night celebrations. The team is now welcoming enquiries for future bookings across all areas of the venue.
Alongside the anniversary celebrations, The Red Lion is also reopening its refreshed boutique hotel rooms, which are now available to book. The nine rooms above the pub have been thoughtfully updated and offer a characterful, boutique alternative to chain hotels, ideal for guests attending events at the pub or exploring East London.
Chris Hill, Managing Director at Urban Pubs & Bars, said: “It’s been fantastic to see The Red Lion settle back into the heart of Leytonstone over the past year. The return of the Ballroom as an events and private-hire space, alongside the reopening of the hotel rooms, feels like an exciting new chapter. This first anniversary is a chance to celebrate with the community that has supported us, and we’re really looking forward to what’s ahead.”
Downstairs, the pub continues to champion seasonal British pub food, a broad drinks selection and a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. Outside, the garden and The Den provide additional spaces for informal get-togethers, private parties and summer celebrations.
