Red Lion

A Memory of Greenford.

I worked for the LBE at the Greenford Depot from 1971-2000 and i used to have my dinner in the Red Lion which was just up the road from the depot. One day they were making an advert for BP in the Petrol Station opposite the pub, when i went in for my meal Jimmy Nail was sitting there, (he was the main actor in the advert) apart from getting his autograph, we also had a chat. He was an extremely pleasant man, not full of himself like most stars are. I just read the pub had been pulled down for even more houses, shame on you LBE.
