The Golden Lion opened in approximately 1650; the current building no older than 400 years old.
The period when this pub was originally built was in remarkable contrast to what it has become today, Hampshire List (hampshire-list.co.uk). It started out as a wayside hostelry for weary travellers; labourers would also frequent this place to secure their last penny before going.

This unique hideaway was used by the Prime Minister himself, and is now available for any lucky family to enjoy.

Wellington himself designed many of its principal interiors. Opened in 1994 and, true to its name, is shaped like a giant anvil.
