The 30 Best Railway in London

“I had a wonderful experience training with Robyn and the London Meisner Company, having finished now I miss them all so much. I think the benefits of having a group to train with weekly can’t be understated. Robyn is direct and great at what she does, but she doesn’t cross the line into being harsh which I actually experienced at a different place I studied Meisner at, so that was always appreciated. She helped me see there were many more approaches to the work that I hadn’t explored before and I can’t wait to go back to masterclass and keep it all up! My class was also full of amazing people who have become friends, so that is always a plus! Thank you Robyn!”

“This was a family outing and our first visit to Chook Chook. Jerry, our waiter helped make an already special evening even more special. Food was exceptional. Decor unique and delightful. I highly recommend the prawns starter.”

“The best place for little train-obsessed five year olds. We have visited the site last year and this year, our little one was constantly talking about it and we had to return. We love the place, it brings so much tranquility and soothe as it moves you in time and place of calm, order and simpler life. The scenery and each detail make you appreciate the way of life we have lost, seems so precious. Pay attention to details - like name on the shops and venues, make you giggle, the train stations and trains running everywhere (the bridge by the castle!). And the horticultural care - what a masterpiece of mini elms, pines, little rivers, cascades. There is a short train ride for families and you can have some fun with operating a boat on a pond. Plenty of koi carps, would be great if we could feed them, too! (Please sell the fish food with tickets!) We discovered new room where old type writer is, what a great fun to do some scenarios and play with props. Playground is also awesome for kids, good food selection in cafe (although I would like to see more healthier options) and plenty of seating area (you can bring your own food). Thank you for being there :)”

“It was amazing and beautiful my kids and my parents loved it. The train ride was fun as well and it’s a beautiful place for a nice picnic”

“Elaine is such a friendly landlady! Always feel welcome. Forgot my phone once and the team not only kept it aside for me, but even charged it for when I picked it up! Absolutely stellar every time! And really good quality beer!”

“Lovely local pub. Quiz night and backwards bingo on Monday night - what's not to like! Great friendly atmosphere - we will”

“Sam is the best, was so nice, I had a rough day and he saw it so he decided to buy me a macdo on the road, he made my day, thank u Sam”

“We went for Sunday roast and everything was fantastic! I had the nut roast and as a veggie that’s a tough roast to make, it was delicious. The others had the lamb which was cooked to perfection. Sticky toffee pudding was wonderful. Proportions were ideal, not too much crowding the plate and being wasteful but more than enough for a heart Sunday lunch. Highly recommend a visit, I’ll be back again.”

“Very smart refresh of an old tired local pub. In a side street which is rare these days and luckily hasn't suffered the fate of hundred of pubs like this and been turned into flats! .Good choice of beers and big LED screens if you like watching sport. Pleasant beer garden for the nice weather.”

“Never have I ever ...seen a cat in a pub. What a great experience. A friendly man greeted us at the bar and when I asked about hot food he said there is none but we can order something in -quite a nice thing to hear. A pleasant relaxing pub I shall be travelling to again.”

“Great first visit to the pub to watch rugby. Awesome atmosphere. We will be back”

“I guess this is a pub frequented by the locals as everyone seemed to know each other very well. We ordered tea followed by main courses. The chef here can really conjure up a wonderful meal. The vegetarian choice was really delicious, full of flavour and perfectly presented. The sunday roast was so gigantic in portion size! Really highly recommend trying the food menu. The tea we ordered was unfortunately tepid, rather disappointing but hey it wouldn't deter me from coming back. Good choice of pub deserving of it's high rating. Oh and its dog friendly which is a super big bonus..”

“Quant little pub food selection of beers and ales. Not been here for 35 years but nice that it's still going.”

“I recently held a private event at the Railway Pub in Streatham and it was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Huge thanks to Triveni, who managed my booking so professionally — she was incredibly helpful, organised, and responsive, making the whole planning process completely stress-free. On the day itself, all the staff were brilliant: friendly, attentive, and worked so hard to make sure everything ran smoothly. The venue was perfect, the atmosphere was great, and our guests had an amazing time. I couldn’t recommend the Railway Pub highly enough for private events — outstanding service all round!”

“Authentic pub with beautiful art glass windows, great selection of beers, large outdoor patio, and full menu. Each night has a theme, like Monday is trivia. Definitely worth visiting in North London!”

“Visiting my son who lives in the area and decided to call in for a quick drink. Such was the welcome, we stayed for lunch and drinks. Food was fantastic and the service was great. Migs, Liu, and Debbie were friendly, welcoming and kind. Thanks for making our visit to London one to remember.”

“Was in the Railway Bell sat night for the Benn fight what a fantastic evening. The pub was really busy and had a fantastic atmosphere. The staff worked so hard they were constantly pouring drinks and making sure everyone was happy and safe. Thank you”

“Lovely little pub in a lovely location and the beer isn’t bad either!”

“Very good. Extremely nice staff and food was better than expected. The atmosphere is also more pleasant than usual in this kind of establishment, because the music is not so loud and very well chosen. Convenient location near the train station.”

“Been coming here for a while now and I just felt like I had to leave a review because I absolutely love this pub. The atmosphere is always brilliant and the service is perfect. A particular shout out to Taylor because he’s the goat nothing more to say. Every regular knows him and a big thank you to you as always. Employee of the month?”

“Best pub in Barnet! The food is top notch and the Guinness, along with all other drinks, is the best around. Perfection of a pub.”

“Great pub and not going to break the bank either which is more than welcome nowadays. Live music offered on certain nights and a large pub garden with various canopies and beach hut-esque seating for bigger groups with heaters for the colder seasons. Bad Boys Pizza Society also have a residency in the pub and do amazing pizzas to wash down with a cold pint”

“Stayed here whilst working in London for a few weeks. Staff looked after me very well with a lovely breakfast in the morning and dinner in the bar every evening. Clean, no-frills room.”

“Very friendly pub, Beer is well kept and Is great for watching sports and food is delicious. Also has regular entertainment such as DJ’s, Singers & Karaoke”

“Had the most incredible roast. Everything on the plate was cooked to perfection and the vegetables were so tasty! Very friendly and attentive staff too”

“Such an amazing pub - must come here again! Food was banging service was excellent especially the manager Ashleigh and her lovely team member Elle! Very accommodating and helpful.”

“Can’t recommend this place enough! It’s minutes away from the train station, rooms are spacious, there’s air con, comfortable bed, good breakfast times, quiet and I left an item behind in the room and they were absolute stars in getting it back to me. Such friendly helpful staff, had a great stay and then helping me afterwards was just the cherry on top!”

“Excellent hotel. Not far from restaurants. The staff were very kind and helpful. Nothing too much trouble for them. There are a few steps up to the hotel. I have a mobility scooter, to bring indoors. There was an accessible lift round the back and was helped in and out of the hotel. The restaurant food was wow good. Plenty of choice for breakfast and good quality.”

“I ordered the lamb Biriyani and it tasted amazing. Nice, flavourful lamb with delicious rice. Good service when ordering on the phone as they guided me to such a delicious meal.”
