A gem of a late-Victorian traditional pub, originally a 19th century beer house, commemorating riflemen Frank Edwards a local resident, who dribbled a football across 'No Man's Land' towards the German trench in WW1. There is limited free on-street parking but has close proximity to several bus routes. Very much a local community hub, with board games, TV sport and regular Thursday events. Dogs welcome. Small patio at the front and beer garden at the back. 15mins walk from Twickenham stadium & Harlequins Rugby Clubs. A Twickenham Fine Ales pub since July 2019. Changing Twickenham Beers: Seasonal and a Monthly Special + Guest Ale

Update: A report from the Rifleman Rescue Team:

"A new tenant/manager will be taking on the lease soon subject to the paperwork being agreed and completed. The pub to close temporarily from 12th October 2026 for a few weeks while some redecoration, repairs etc, before reopening under the new tenancy."

Historic Interest
