About Railway
Local pub with polished wood interior and roof terrace, plus board games, newspapers and free wi-fi.
The nearest pub to Blackheath railway station. Has had various identities over the years. Once an Ind Coope pub then went through a Fairway & Firkin stage and now back to a railway identity. Busy pub especially at weekends when security door staff may be in evidence. Stained wooden floor boarded throughout with raised drinking area in one of the front corners and a part open-aired, part covered small rear walled courtyard garden in which smoking is not permitted. Painted throughout in grey green pastel shades with a semi-rustic or semi-domestic theme with some eclectic furniture. Several high tables and chairs. Obvious food presence. 4 handpumps on the bar counter. Reopened Tuesday 27th February 2018 after a significant refurbishment which shortened the length of the bar counter to make way for more restaurant seating at the rear and reduced the number of handpumps from 5 to 4.

🚇 Blackheath 🍺 £7.00 Stiegl Goldbräu The Railway is located in the leafy enclave of Blackheath in Southeast London. The nearest station is Blackheath which is literally next door. This standalone pub was built in 1852 as The Railway Hotel. This once Ind Coope pub has had a couple of monikers over the years, one of which being The Fairway & Firkin. The pub was extensively refurbished in 2018 and is run by Mitchells & Butlers. This is a sizeable one bar pub that is in the main traditionally decorated. The servery is located on the left hand side and has a decent length. Around the entrance…

We had a wonderful experience tonight at this pub. James was amazing, he went above and beyond to make the perfect drink for me. I do have very difficult requirements when it comes to drinks but James made the perfect drink for me. Thank you so much James and we will definitely come back to this pub ☺️

Initial impressions were really good, a nice pub, lovely garden and nice smiley staff. We came in for a Sunday roast and we're HUNGRY, we ordered half roast chicken, extra roasties and extra cauliflower cheese as there were 2 of us. It looked pretty good when it came out, a nice heap and we were looking forward to tucking in. We noticed instantly there was no gravy on the plate, unusual for a Sunday roast but this was bought separately in 2 little jugs. So the disappointment started there, the gravy was like water, definitely nothing in it to thicken it, I thought it was going to be some…
