Murder Mystery in the London Borough of Hillingdon

We will be at The Red Lion in Hillingdon on Saturday 28th November with The Reading of The Will, our 1920s murder mystery delivered over dinner.

The Red Lion, Hillingdon

The Red Lion in Hillingdon is one of the oldest and most historic pubs in the London Borough of Hillingdon. Located on Royal Lane, this Grade II listed building dates back to the sixteenth century and has been an important part of the local community for hundreds of years. The pub is known for its traditional architecture, featuring timber-framed construction, exposed wooden beams, low ceilings, and historic fireplaces that reflect its rich heritage.

One of the most fascinating aspects of The Red Lion’s history is its connection to King Charles I. In April 1646, during the English Civil War, the king is believed to have stopped at the inn while fleeing from Oxford in disguise. This event has become an important part of the pub’s story and adds to its historical significance.

Today, The Red Lion operates as both a traditional pub and a hotel, combining historic charm with modern facilities. Visitors can enjoy a welcoming atmosphere, quality food, comfortable accommodation, and a selection of drinks while experiencing a building that has stood for over four centuries. The pub remains a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, preserving an important piece of Hillingdon’s history while continuing to serve the community in the present day.
