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:
“Only, here and there, an old sailor,
Drunk and asleep in his boots,
Catches tigers
In red weather.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“It is curious how there seems to be an instinctive disgust in Man for his nearest ancestors and relations. If only Darwin could conscientiously have traced man back to the Elephant or the Lion or the Antelope, how much ridicule and prejudice would have been spared to the doctrine of Evolution.”
—Havelock Ellis (1859–1939)
