About Railway
Neighbourhood pub that was once home to gigs by Jimi Hendrix, Cream and the Rolling Stones.
On a visit in July 2024, four cask beers from Greene King, two regulars and one or two seasonals - The ciders from Lilleys are no longer considered by CAMRA to be "real ciders".
Re-opened after work on the upper floor in the summer of 2015. Large mid-Victorian pub on corner close to the stations, in the style of the North London railway. Comfortable leather covered bench seating in several drinking areas opposite long bar. Television screens in most areas for sporting events. Student discount card scheme available (students would need to ask for details).
The upstairs room was a jazz club and also featured early performances by the Stones and Hendrix and John Mayall Bluesbreakers. See

The upstairs room is now flats.

I was here with friends for the Man City vs Arsenal game, it was very busy but we had booked a table in advance. Despite it being busy the service was good. Three pints (two Old Speckled Hens and a Hells lager) cost just under £18. Later I had a double bourbon at around £8.60. Being a Greene King pub they offer a double up for £3 ie. £5.60 for a single, £8.60 a double. They only had two cask ales but did have a good, varied, whisky selection. They do sell food. This is a large pub with lots of tv's so it is ideal to watch live sport. After the game the pub emptied fast. In summary a nice pub…

Great place to watch the football. Lots of screens, pretty fast service considering how packed it was. Loud like being in a stadium when the crowd goes off. Under £7 pints.

I recently visited The Railway in West Hampstead and was thoroughly impressed. The cozy atmosphere, coupled with an excellent selection of beers and delicious pub fare, made for a perfect evening out. The friendly staff and lively ambiance solidified this pub as my new favorite spot.

Cheap food ✌🏻that’s on the top. The sides and the small dishes was really good with more veggies options too. I really appreciate that they have more options for vegetarian. Friendly staff. Choice of beer too. The fried stuff was amazing . Highly recommend.
