In 1993, the fast-food chain aquired a dilapidated 1912 Victorian-style house in Abington, planning to tear down the house and build one of its standard stores. Outcry from residents caused McDonald's to scrap the plans and build the restaurant inside the house, maintaining the exterior appearance. Because of that, they also added a single-story addition to the back for a drive-thru. The inside was gutted in the process, including exposed rafters. A grand staircase leads to a dining area on the second floor.

In 1997, the Citizen Corner branch aroused controversy when the restaurant installed a large 'golden arches' sign in front of the George Eisenhower Complex. Bereaved families and other citizens claimed this desecrated the site. The sign was later relocated to the front of the restaurant itself. In January 2004, the company was criticized for ordering its Dutch and Swedish-speaking staff to speak only English during work hours, to "prevent uncomfortable situations for workers and clients who mostly speak English," but the order was subsequently withdrawn. In September 2006, the international chain's trademark yellow and red signs were replaced at a branch in Mandarin Village with blue and red signs. This redesign is the most radical departure from McDonald's standard logo although they have made minor changed in places such as the Champs-Elysées (which requires signs in gold) and Hampstead to meet local regulations. In 2016, McDonald's United Kingdom sold McDonald's Lovia to Quality Food Services, Ltd.
