The Railway Hotel is a former pub and hotel in Station Road, Edgware and a Grade II listed building with Historic England.

History

[edit]

The Railway Hotel was built and designed in 1931 by the architect A. E. Sewell for Truman Hanbury Buxton, brewers,^[1] and opened in 1932.^[2]

The historic building closed in 2006 after not reaching health and safety standards.^[3] In 2013 the building was added to Historic England’s Heritage At Risk register.^[4] On 11 July 2016, having been empty, the building caught fire in the early morning.^[3]

Damage and uncertainty

[edit]

Through the 2010s there were several owners, none making any significant progress. In 2016 an arson attack left a portion of the ground floor destroyed and the public began to fear developers would build new apartments after a lack of support from the council.

A petition, launched in 2016 to Historic England in an attempt to try and restore the building, received 2,287 signatures.^[5]

Announced in 2017 the building was listed at public auction with a minimum value of £2 million.^[6]

Renovation

[edit]

In September 2018, it was announced that the building would be renovated and turned into a restaurant.^{[citation needed]} Work on this was reported to be underway, although it has yet to be completed as of 2024.^{[citation needed]}
