The Golden Lion is a beautiful late Victorian corner public house with great street presence which has been serving the local community in Camden for 120 years or more. The Golden Lion's Supporters were successful in having the pub registered as an Asset of Community Value in December, proving that it is a wanted and valued social venue. The loss of the pub after many other similar losses in Camden in recent years would be a heavy blow. Traditional pubs like the Giolden Lion all over London are being torn down or converted to other uses simply in pursuit of profit and without regard for the social needs of a community.
