About Railway
Bright, sophisticated, real ale gastropub serving creative British menu, with live comedy and music.
Close to Streatham Common Station, this spacious, welcoming, family friendly, community orientated two bar Stonegate pub is now Free of Tie. It is managed by the Parched Pub Co and is a regular in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide as well as winning the local CAMRA South West London branch Pub of the Year in 2019 and 2021.
The large front bar is comfortably furnished with tables and chairs for drinkers and diners. Saturday Brunch and Sunday lunch roasts are especially popular.
The airy back bar can be hired as a function room and is often used for meetings by local community groups and others.
The walled garden is especially popular when the weather is fine. If not large umbrellas and an undercover area protect patrons from the rain.
The pub showcases London brewed beers in cask, bottles and cans from brewers such as By The Horns, ELB, Portobello, Sambrook's, Southwark, Twickenham and others. Sometimes there may be interesting guest ale or cider from elsewhere available.
From 4pm to 6pm Monday - Wednesday all cask beers plus some other drinks are priced at £4 - see the photo for the list.
Tuesday is Quiz Night.
Usually on the last Sunday of the month, the comedy nights are very popular.
Advanced booking is advisable.

Despite being here for 13yrs, this was my first visit and I loved it! Love the quaint English decor and back garden. The Tea Room is let out for events which wr had hired and the service was great! Funnily enough a couple of days later, I went back there for a coffee because all the cafes were closed after 5pm and I had the best double espresso served locally. Will be going back more often now. Better late than never!

We booked the Function Room to hold a Wake after a Funeral and ordered a buffet for 70 people. Everyone at the Railway made sure that the afternoon went well. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was good. All the staff were really helpful. It made a difficult day easier. Thank you!

Really warm and nice pub. The food is a little on the pricey side but definitely worth the money. Have tried the Sunday roast and the pork belly and they were both great. Edit. Went back here again recently, had the burger and felt it was a bit dry. Other than that everything was good.

Next stop: The Railway! A really nice pub in Streatham, right next to the station. Drinks menu is good, staff is friendly and apparently they host a great pub quiz on the Tuesday!

Lovely pub located near Streatham Common station. There is an ample room of seating situated around the pub. Lovely outdoor seating area at the rear. Again, ample seating is available. Highly recommend a visit.
