Randomness Guide to London - Differences between Version 2 and Version 1 of Railway Tavern Ale House, N16 8JT

A pub just near Dalston Kingsland Station, renovated in mid-2011 and returned to its original name, having previously been called Old Henry's Freehouse.

Nestled just to the west of the station in slightly more hipster-friendly environs, the Railway Tavern Ale House (the latter appended presumably to avoid confusion with the pub of the same name adjoining the station) has bare floorboards and chunky wooden furniture, with plenty of light coming in through the windows, and three separate doors to enter. There's an attractive and ornate old fireplace, a few well-chosen pieces of art befitting the clientele, and no music is playing on Ewan's visit. There are only three or four other people in on the Sunday afternoon I pop by.

Appropriately to its name, there are six handpulls for ale prominent featured on the bar (very little else is visible). On Ewan's September 2011 visit they are dispensing Adnam's Pale Ale, Redemption Trinity, BrewDog 5am Saint, Truman's Three Threads (£3.40/pint), Castle Rock Harvest Pale Ale, and one more. Upcoming beers are listed beside the bar. There are four keg taps hidden away to the side, with Meantime London Lager and London Porter, Licher, and Aspall's cider.

Signs outside the pub advertise a pub quiz on Tuesdays.

Accessibility: There's no step to get in (just a very shallow sill), and toilets are all on the same level.
