The Red Lion
Directions
Go trough the ticket gates and head to the far right corner to the Parliament
Street/Whitehall exit. Go up the stairs and turn right continuing up Parliament Street where
you’ll find the pub on the corner of Derby Gate. Or from the main exit just turn right and
then right again onto Parliament Street and continue walking down.
Closest Bottleshop
There's a bottle shop on the right from the station's main exit. At this point most
people will be mulling around waiting for the Haka to start so stocking up on booze will be everyone's priority
and the bottle-o will be chockers! Plus it'll be freezing outside and people will be indise there keeping warm.
The queue is always really long.

The Haka!
The Haka at Westminster is the culmination of a long day of festivities and a great tradition for
Kiwis in London. Shirts will come off, pasty white skin will be exposed, and a huge Haka will take place in front
of a massive crowd of drunken, celebrating Kiwis. There's one at 4pm and one at 5pm and if you want to get even remotely
close to the front to be able to see, get there early.
