The Golden Lion, situated at 18 High Street, is a former public house and Grade II listed building in Brompton, Kent, England. Designated on 15 September 2003, it represents a multi-layered record of Brompton's development as a "garrison village", charting its evolution from the early eighteenth century to the present day. Historically operating as a prominent public house and commercial inn, the Golden Lion reflects broader socio-economic changes within a community closely tied to the Chatham Naval Dockyard and the neighbouring Brompton Barracks.
