Operator: Fuller's
Kew Gardens Station, Station Approach, Kew, TW9 3PZ (View on Google Map)

The Railway was acquired by Fuller's in 2012. Re-opened 27th Sept 2013 after a major refurbishment and name change. The pub is located right on the tube line's eastbound platform, although you can't access it from the platform. The yellow brick building forms part of the original station complex, which was built in the 1860’s and was originally the station's Timber Steaming Hall, then later; it became the Station's buffet room before it was finally converted into a pub. It's an attractive old building with oak beamed ceilings which are around 25 feet high. The main features include a huge arched ornate conservatory atrium (now used as a dining area) and floor-to-ceiling picture windows looking directly onto the platform of the station. There is an outside seating area at the front.

Historic Interest

Kew Gardens station was opened by the London and South Western Railway on 1st January 1869. It is one of the few remaining 19th-century stations on the North London Line, and the only station on the London Underground network that still has a pub attached. The two-storey yellow-brick station buildings are rare, fine examples of mid-Victorian railway architecture, and are protected as part of the Kew Gardens conservation area. The footbridge to the south of the station is also noteworthy and is Grade II listed in its own right.
