Red Lion & Sun

This historic Highgate gastro-pub is ambitious when it comes to alfresco drinking and dining – and able to be flexible, with an intimate, secluded courtyard at the back and a larger area facing the road at the front. The menu changes daily, offering delights such as Cornish mussels or beef cheek and bone marrow pie: perfect for warming your cockles after a brisk walk across Hampstead Health.
