Description
The Lion Public House is a late 18th-century public house located on Barnet Road in Potters Bar. It is constructed of painted brick and features a hipped slate roof with a T-shaped ridge. The building stands two storeys high and has a four-window front, with the two left bays projecting slightly. The entrance is located in the second bay from the right and includes a doorcase with ornamentation at the angles of the posts and lintel. The windows are glazed bar sashes, with the first-floor left window having 16 panes, and the ground-floor left and right windows featuring side lights. All windows have cambered rubbed brick heads. The left return angle of the building has rusticated quoins. There is a large ridge stack on the left and a smaller stack on the rear pitch to the right. To the right, there is a single-storey flat-roofed extension, and gabled extensions are present at the rear right. The interior has been remodelled.
