Quick info
About Ye Olde Whyte Lyon
Live bands play at Ye Olde Whyte Lyon, a pub on Farnborough Common in Orpington, with sets running on weekend evenings. It is a large pub with a beer garden at the rear, and big screens are set up indoors along with one outside in the garden, so sport and music can be followed from either side of the building. Food is served alongside the drinks, and the pub also functions as a restaurant. A dart board sits inside for anyone who wants a game with their pint.

Customer Review Summary
Live music is the main draw, one reviewer singling out a set by the band Diver, another a great afternoon of music and friends. Close behind is the pub itself, described as a beautiful old place with a relaxed feel, a large rear beer garden, a darts board and big screens for sports. One notes drinks priced slightly above average and a Saturday band night that was noisy.

“I came here on a Saturday evening to see a friend's band, so inevitably the pub was noisy.”
- Charmaine Mcnally
“Great pub. Fantastic live band Diver played a amazing set”
- Michael C
“Beautiful old pub located at the top of locksbottom. Large place with a nice pub feel to the place with a relaxed atmosphere. Large beer garden at the rear. Darts board inside. A couple of big screens which I assume show sports (one outside in the beer garden as well). Food available but didn't stay to eat. Good choice of drinks at slightly higher than average prices. Service was friendly, welcoming and helpful. Great place overall.”
