Conveniently close to the station, the Railway is both comfortable and welcoming - well-behaved dogs are welcome too. The regular cask ales are supplemented by 2 or 3 guest ales, often chosen by one of the 'regulars'. There are occasional live music events as well as quiz nights. The pub has a darts team and has close links to Banstead Downs Golf Club.
Historic Interest
The Railway Inn is thought to have been built around the time the railway came through Cheam to serve railway passengers at this new busy and expanding station. However the building may have been on this site as early as 1810, as a hotel. A J Crowe’s work Inns, Taverns and Pubs of LB Sutton (1980) highlights that in the early twentieth century there were alterations to the property with the northern chimney removed and extensions added to each end.
This Pub serves 3 changing beers and 2 regular beers.
