Historical version 7 of Lion Inn, CR0 2QD (view current version)

Pub just on the border of Croydon and Thornton Heath.

Food is served all day Mon-Fri and until 5pm at weekends, according to the 2008 Good Beer Guide, but on DrHyde's recent visit there was no evidence of this - no menus, no boards advertising grub. But that might just have been because it was a very quiet evening.

There are four handpumps, which on a recent visit had Greene King IPA, Greene King St Edmund's Ale, Shepherd Neame Kent Best, and Hardy and Hansons Olde Trip. There is also an interesting looking range of bottled beers and ciders. Particularly pleasing is that while they do have bottles of Magners, they refuse to let people drink it in the pub - it's for off-sales only!

Service was quick and very friendly. Level access from street to bar to disabled toilet. There is occasional live music. the pub also has a sideline running outside catering for events.
