The Red Lion was situated at 66-68 North Street. There was been records of a Red Lion in Barking since 1714 (when it was noted that it was previously called the Blue Boar). The current Red Lion was built in 1899 and closed as a pub in 2008. It was turned into flats although the pub frontage and insignia remain. Paul Simon appeared at a folk club here in the 1960s.
