The Golden Lion has a proud history in Romford.

The Recorder previously published a story, naming it - "Romford's historic Golden Lion hotel, [a] famous town centre landmark", according to Havering Libraries.

In 1979 the pub was grade II listed after the threat of closure and today it remains operational as a Greene King establishment.

Following the closure of The White Hart pub, the premises reopened as The Bitter End in 1982, according to Havering Libraries.

In the early 1990s it was Clutterbacks and later The Ford and Firkin.

A short-lived return as The Bitter End ended in the mid 2000s when the pub shut.
