In the UK it is known as Golden Syrup, made by Tate & Lyle whose slogan is "Out of the strong comes forth sweetness" with a (dead?) lion pictured on the tin. Not that that ever put me off.

This will explain to you but Golden Syrup is not like Corn Syrup

Re: what is 'light corn' syrup?
I found this detailed explanation that will help clarify the issue:
Corn syrup is just what the name implies, a liquid derivative of corn starch, that is primarily the sugar called glucose. It is used extensively in the manufacture of processed foods and beverages in the US, because it does not crystallize as readily as sugar and is generally less expensive (although it is also not as sweet as sugar).
It is available to consumers in the US in two forms — light, which has been clarified to remove all color (and which is nearly flavorless), and dark, to which caramel color and molasses have been added. Because of its tendency not to crystallize, it is often called for in recipes for frostings, candies, jam, and jellies.
If light corn syrup is not available, you can substitute a sugar syrup made with 1-1/4 cups sugar and 1/3 cup water, boiled together until syrupy. If your recipe calls for dark corn syrup, we’d suggest using a sugar syrup with a dash of dark treacle or unsulfured molasses, both of which are derived from sugar cane.
I hope that helps!

Corn syrup is much lighter in composition than Golden syrup, but generally substituted depending on whether you are baking in USA or UK....
As already answered one is made from corn the other sugar cane.

Corn syrup is a wonderful sweet syrup that may be golden (light corn syrup) or a somewhat darker gold (regular). It is made from - strange to say - corn!. Now I am in Florida so can't duck into Sainsburys and start checking labels, but you may be near to a Sainsburys? Hope this helps.

You can use golden syrup as a substitute. Here in the US we have light and dark corn syrup. The light is clear and has a faint vanilla flavor and the dark has a rich slightly molasses flavor, sort of a cross between golden syrup and molasses.

They're not the same, but they are equivalent. You can substitute corn syrup in a recipe for golden syrup, using the same quantities.

They're not the same because Corn Syrup is made from corn starch and Golden Syrup is made from sugar

Yes, it is called Golden Syrup in the UK, it'sTate & Lyle and love the lion logo too. We used to make a recipe with white sticks pasta-also known as Vermicelli Pasta- Very thin, round pasta strands. It adds such a delicious taste.

Yes, the US call it "corn syrup"; we call it "golden syrup". In fact, I was using a recipe at the weekend which used it - and the instruction was for "corn (golden) syrup". (I was making gingerbread biscuits, with extra crystallized ginger thrown in for good measure - lovely!)
