| Pub right next to [[Kew Gardens Station]]. It was [http://www.fullers.co.uk/rte.asp?id=39&itemid=225&task=View acquired by Fuller's] in 2009, and in late-2013 was given an overhaul and renamed from The Railway, its original name <small>[http://flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/2703594915/ photo]</small>. |
Not been in here yet, but it looks quite nice; it had a board inside advertising Belgian beers (Duvel, Fruli, etc) and another board with what looked like a fairly large range of food (see [http://flickr.com/photos/garfy3/245375223/ photo of menu on Flickr]). I didn't actually go inside, but it has large plate glass windows looking on to the eastbound platform of [[Kew Gardens Station]], and I had a squint inside while I was waiting about 300 years for my train to arrive. |

The main part of the pub is quite dimly lit, but there's also a large conservatory with exposed brickwork, a worn tiled floor, a huge arched ornate skylight <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/9279883598/ photo]</small>, and floor-to-ceiling picture windows looking directly onto the eastbound platform of the station; this space can be booked for private parties, which confines drinkers to the seating around in the main bar room. There's some outside seating too, some of which is covered with a large parasol/umbrella. |

There are four handpumps in the bar, which on a January 2014 visit had a standard range of Fuller's ales along with their Jack Frost seasonal ale. |
A sign seen outside in July 2008 advertised breakfast, food served all day, free wireless, and fairtrade coffee. |

On [[Kake]]'s Wednesday early evening visit in August 2008, there were a fair number of customers and most of the outside seats were taken, but I had no problem getting a table in the conservatory. Background music was playing, pretty bland but not loud enough to be annoying. [[Ewan]] had no trouble getting a table on a rainy Saturday in November 2008 either, though the conservatory was rather draughty and cold. Sport was on the TV, with the sound on in the inside area by the bar. On a Friday lunchtime in July 2013, there were a few people in around noon but plenty of space both inside and outside. |
[http://www.pub-explorer.com/gtlondon/pub/railwayrichmond.htm Pub Explorer] gives food times as 11am-10pm Monday to Saturday, and noon-10pm Sunday. |

In July 2013, [[Kake]]'s brie and tomato sandwich on granary bread (£5.50 including tortilla chips and salad garnish) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/9279865880/ photo]</small> was pretty good; the bread was firmly-textured, almost sourdough-like, and the fillings were generous and fresh. The tortilla chips were also a generous portion. The salad was properly dressed with a reasonable vinaigrette, but unfortunately some of the leaves seemed a bit bashed-about. |

Child-friendliness: A sign seen in August 2008 said children are welcome in the conservatory until 7pm, and there were a number present on [[Ewan]]'s January 2014 visit. As of July 2013 there's a children's menu <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/9279870020/ photo]</small> with an activity sheet (puzzles and colouring-in) as well as at least two highchairs (without trays). |
Comment added by Kake: Greene King IPA, Bombardier, Adnams bitter. I had a pint of Addlestones cider at 3.10. I asked about the Belgian beer but they don't do that any more ("Stella and Leffe only...") |

Accessibility: One step at both entrances. Step-free to bar and seating once you're in. Toilets are in the basement, down a straight flight of stairs with a sturdy handrail on both sides. The cubicles in the ladies' are a bit of a squeeze to get into. |
Menu says food served noon-9pm daily. |

Nice conservatory with huge arched ornate skylight and floor-to-ceiling picture windows looking directly onto the eastbound platform of Kew Gardens Station. Sign says children welcome in conservatory until 7pm. Medium step up to get into conservatory from outside but you'd also have to squeeze past all the outdoor tables to get in that way. |
