The White Lion
Strand (WC2)
WC2E 8NT

Average Rating: 
Small, but surprisingly under-crowded, pub close to the heart of Covent Garden. Otherwise a fairly standard-issue Nicholson's house, but the Elgoods Cambridge bitter was on good form. (NB - Review dates from March 2008.)

The White Lion is slap bang in the middle of tourist central. Covent Garden is just too busy and crowded for my taste, and this is a fairly unremarkable pub. However, it does have a nice little brass ledge outside on which to put your beer if it is nice enough to stand outside, and it did have a decent pint of Thwaite's Wainwright on when I was there the other day. Not worth trying to find (though it would be hard to miss it) but OK for a quick one if you happen to be in the area and don't know anywhere better.
