Railway Hotel, Victorian railway hotel in London Borough of Barnet, England.
The Railway Hotel is a three-story building with ornate brickwork and traditional architectural details that reflect early 20th century design standards. The ground floor contains pub facilities while the upper levels once provided guest accommodations for travelers.
The building was constructed during the expansion of Britain's railway network in the 1920s to serve travelers using these new transportation routes. It gained Grade II listed status for preserving early railway hotel architecture from that period.
The pub served as a gathering place for local residents and travelers passing through the area. People used it to meet, relax, and connect with others in their community.
The building sits directly next to Edgware underground station on the Northern line, making it easy to reach by public transport. Its position on Station Road puts it right where locals and visitors naturally pass by.
The property has planning approval for redevelopment into a 90-room hotel with new extensions and a separate three-story building added. This transformation would modernize the site while maintaining the original listed structure.
