Golden Lion New

The Golden Lion is a landmark pub in the heart of Bexleyheath, proudly positioned on a prominent corner plot just off the High Street. Following a recent refurbishment, it now stands as one of the area’s go-to venues for food, sport, and entertainment — offering a lively, welcoming atmosphere for all occasions.

Inside, the pub features a large L-shaped bar that forms the social hub of the space, surrounded by a mix of seating options, including fixed banquettes, dining tables, and high seating for around 70 covers. The interior layout is designed for flexibility, easily accommodating both relaxed daytime dining and high-energy weekend nights. Entertainment zones include a DJ booth, pool table, darts area, and multiple HD screens showing live sport, ensuring something for everyone.

Outside, the Golden Lion boasts a standout courtyard garden — a hidden gem complete with picnic benches, a sheltered pool area, and large outdoor TVs, making it a year-round destination for sport and socialising.

The fully equipped trade kitchen supports a strong pub food offer and currently operates a successful “dark kitchen” delivery model, giving the incoming operator the flexibility to expand into off-site sales if desired.

Trading is steady throughout the day, with strong peaks during live sport and weekends. Weekly entertainment includes popular Thursday night quizzes and DJ-led events every Friday and Saturday, enhanced by a late licence until 1:30 a.m.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced publican to take on a high-performing, turnkey operation with broad appeal — a true local favourite in one of South East London’s busiest suburban town centres.

A spacious 4-bed flat with a lounge, kitchen and bathroom is located across the top two floors.
