Golden Lion, Bermondsey

"Millwall pub": there's a combination of words to loosen the bowels of the respectable south London drinker. The Golden Lion, conveniently located round the corner from South Bermondsey station, oozed a certain earthy je-ne-sais-quoi, with its bold claims of "lager" and "spirits" (in a weird Optimal Character Recognition-type font, for some reason), until it shut earlier this year. As you can see, it's currently for sale: who knows, perhaps in a few months it will be REBORN as a hip urban boozer with real ale, an eclectic jukebox and vegetarian sausage and mash. That, or a tanning salon. Who can say?
