From the outside the pub is inconspicuous - darkly painted and dwarfed by the nearby railway viaduct which gives the pub its name. It would be easy to walk past without noticing it. Inside the pub is bigger than expected with striking red, grey, green and (especially) purple decor. The bar is in the larger upstairs area, which in turn opens out onto a tiny theatre and a two-level garden with dozens of benches.
Cask has not been restored following the ending of Covid restrictions. Keg beers include Brixton and Beavertown
Historic Interest
Built in the 1860s as the "Railway Hotel" to serve visitors to the nearby Crystal Palace grounds via the Penge Entrance. Adjacent to the railway station (reopened in 1863 as Penge Bridges, renamed Penge in 1879 and Penge West in 1923), traces of the original staircase to the platform can be seen on the left-hand side of the building. The tramway arrived in 1906 and terminated by the Penge Entrance, bringing in day trippers from Croydon. Renamed the "Bridge House Tavern" in the 1960s, the current name dates from 2017.
