The Railway
Putney
The Railway first opened as a pub in 1889, and we're delighted to bring it back under its original name. Whether you're a local or just passing through, join us for sensational seasonal dishes and proper pub classics, cocktails, craft beer and genuine hospitality. There's plenty on at the Railway, including our weekly quiz and bottomless brunch. Fun fact: This is the pub where The Police headlined their first gig in 1977. So, pull up a chair, make yourself at home, and let's embark on a journey together.
