The Red Lion pub in Vicarage Road, Watford has a long standing history and is a classic Benskins pub. Many locals and Watford FC supporters have fond memories of times spent there, unfortunately in recent times the pub has been caught up in the mess that was Bassini ownership and has been boarded up for some time now.

The Red Lion is now in imminent danger of being developed and we will lose a piece of Watford history for ever. A nomination has been sent to the council to accept the pub as an Asset of Community Value. This will give us time to organise raising the money needed to buy the pub with a community share offer and run the pub as a community pub with a local brewery brewing on site.

We call on Mayor Dorothy Thornhill and Richard Harrington MP to help us Save the Red Lion pub and get the council to agree the nomination to Accept the Community Value of the Red Lion, Vicarage Road, Watford
